Initialization and console output seem to be ok. What did you try so far? Pinging ip address? Trying connection on port 30? If ping doesn't work try these preliminary tests: - check if ethernet link is up (i.e. NIC link led on or, if you use Windows, ethernet connection notification in the lower right corner of the screen) - if your board has an activity led on the eth connector, check if it blinks whenever a ping request is issued - check your client tcp/ip configuration (ip address 192.168.1.x with x any from 1 to 254, excluding 234; subnet mask 255.255.255.0) - disable dhcp and use a static ip address

Hi, The system is not transmitting anything on the RGMII lines. I can see that the phy is receiving traffic. It seems that it is the system itself, so I am going to signaltap the SGDMA's and Nios regs Apus

Ok, so it is working now. I had mapped the PHY from addr1 to addr0, thinking that it would be a wise thing to do. better leave it to the system. But I am now able to connect and transmit data over Gigabit Lan. You know, if Altera had specified that we had to setup the TSE during startup instead of stating that the package supports 4 different phy's at default, then it would have saved me a lot of time. Anyway, it is cool when it works. thanks. apus

I use a different PHY (National DP83640) and mapped it to addr 1 but I haven't had any problem. If I remember correctly in my case it happened the opposite: it didn't work when mapped to addr0, but I had an error message directly in the console output during initialization. Regarding the default setup I can tell you this: I have two PHYs on my board and when I configure fpga for using a single TSE and single PHY I don't need to manually setup with the alt_tse_system_add_sys() call. I only added it when I started to use the second TSE/PHY channel. Cris

The inner workings of the code is not very clear to me, I only read enough to get the board up and running. I am about to start a new layout for a dual phy board. Dual gigabit. How did that work for you? Best regards Apus

TSE + MARVELL + INICHE What am I missing???

Hi,

Can any of you see if i have done something stupid below:

I cannot transmit anyhing.

First my setup code:

alt_tse_phy_profile MV88E1116R = {"Marvell 88E1116R", //

MV88E1111_OUI, // OUI

0x24, // Vender Model Number

0, // Model Revision Number

0x11, // Location of Status Register

14, // Location of Speed Status

13, // Location of Duplex Status

10, // Location of Link Status

&marvell_phy_cfg // Function pointer to configure Marvell PHY

};

alt_tse_phy_add_profile(&MV88E1116R);

alt_tse_system_mac sys_mac = {TSE_SYSTEM_MAC(TRIPLE_SPEED_ETHERNET_0)};

alt_tse_system_sgdma sys_sgdma = {TSE_SYSTEM_SGDMA(SGDMA_ETH_TX, SGDMA_ETH_RX)};

alt_tse_system_desc_mem sys_mem = {TSE_SYSTEM_DESC_MEM(RAM_DESCRIPTOR)};

alt_tse_system_shared_fifo sys_sfifo = {TSE_SYSTEM_NO_SHARED_FIFO()};

alt_tse_system_phy sys_phy = {TSE_SYSTEM_PHY(1, NULL)};

alt_tse_system_add_sys(&sys_mac, &sys_sgdma, &sys_mem, &sys_sfifo, &sys_phy );

And console............:

hi agdepus:
The codes you post here,is the function to realize connection between MAC and PHY? I add your code in my project in NIOSII IDE ,but there are many errors,maybe I donnot understand the communication method and structure well,now I have collect many references about TSE,but I really donnot kown how to realize telecommunication between MAC+PHY and PC,in my lab,there is nobody understand ethernet well.

would you tell me the steps of realizing the aim?

(my english is not very good,I am very sorry about that)
I am appreciate that you could reply me!!

hi,agdepus:

the hardware and software i use are“niosii_ethernet_standard_3c25” and“nichestack_tutorial” from altera pages.
In NiosII IDE software,
console is below:

PHY INFO: [phyid] 0x1 2000 5c90
PHY INFO: Issuing PHY Reset
PHY INFO: waiting on PHY link...
PHY INFO: PHY link detected, allowing network to start.

The wrong places are in red
my quastions is :
1: how to set correct MAC Address?
2: how to find Valid MAC address?
I donnot understand the example very well,can you tell me the efficient steps to learn "ethernet"
thanks
