Honored Contributortse_mac with dp83848 phy in MII interface
Hi
I am trying to make a design with a triple speed ethernet MAC from Altera work. I am using a National DP83848 PHY and the small 10/100 version of the MAC.Currently I have this problem: when I run the nichestack init, I get this output: InterNiche Portable TCP/IP, v3.1 Copyright 1996-2008 by InterNiche Technologies. All rights reserved. prep_tse_mac 0 prepped 1 interface, initializing... [tse_mac_init] INFO : TSE MAC 0 found at address 0x00000400 INFO : PHY National DP83848C found at PHY address 0x1f of MAC Group[0] INFO : PHY[0.0] - Automatically mapped to tse_mac_device[0] INFO : PHY[0.0] - Restart Auto-Negotiation, checking PHY link...

Could someone give me the golden tip to get this running?I would really appreciate your reply!14 Replies
Altera_ForumDid you try Wireshark and SignalTap as I suggested in my last message?

I am working on a similar system. I have gone over the user manuals and such but it is not clear how to set up the software to run on the nios and use the TSE mac. All I want to be able to do is send out packets over the ethernet. How do you "run the interniche init".

The easiest way to start is to use the Simple Sockets Server design example in the IDE and modify it to suit your needs. Just use the standard sockets API to send/receive packets.

"DHCP timed out, going back to default IP address(es)"
is does not matter,you could not be troubled by this,you only to set the MAC address by yourself,if the PC can ping,there is nothing to bother~then you can use hyperterninal of pc to view application layer transmition.
