13 years agoAre you sure you are synchronizing SignalTap correctly? If the TX led blinks it means that the PHY is getting something from the TSE. Maybe you are missing it.
If you put the preamble on the Avalon Stream as I saw on the first screenshot, if the link between the TSE and the PHY is set up correctly then the PHY will send two preambles: one added by the TSE and yours. This won't be seen as a valid Ethernet packet by any other node on the bus, so this could explain why you don't see anything.
