Honored ContributorHi!
I'm also using TSE without Nios II and I have made a process using the Avalon-MM interface to configure mac address and so on on the TSE. I have also made a small receiver which use the Avalon-ST to get data from RX FIFO. SInce I don't have any higher protocols such as IP and TCP i have used the arp command on the host pc to set a fix IP-mac combination and when I ping my card I see activity on the PHY leds but valid (avalon-st) is not set high. As of now I just count the number of times Valid is set high but I can't see any "traffic" to my module. How can I verify that the TSE MAC is running and "handling" traffic? My next idea is to read out all registers to make sure that they are correct but then I only have 8 leds to "show" their values on. Does anyone have an ide of what registers needs to be set and how to set them i.e. how to set mac address so that it is not mirrored or something like that.
