Honored ContributorIt's a stupid question...but how should I set triple speed Ethernet MAC address? Can I set the address in SOPCBuilder? Or I have to program NIOSII software to set the address?
Honored ContributorHonored ContributorThanks a lot, dwesterg. I found it.
Honored Contributorhi..,my name is dileep kumar..iam new to ethernet interface,,so can u please guide me to how to start r can u just provide any reference design using triple speed ethernet for cyclone iii..thanks in advance
Honored ContributorYou can just google "NiosII Ethernet Standard Design Example" and will find it.
Unfortunately, the documentation of tse on cyclone III is not so instructive as compared with reference design of tse on StratixII.Honored Contributorconsole is below:

I donnot understand the example very well,can somebody tell me the efficient steps to learn "ethernet" thanksHonored ContributorWhat board are you using?
The manual should tell you how to put back a valid mac address in the flash. Alternatively you can directly provide your own mac address in the get_mac_addr() function (and modify the function so that it doesn't print this warning any more).
