Igor,

It's (init_tse_descriptor) is in lwip_tse_mac.c.

Happy,

You can add a custom or non-default PHY using the run-time add function alt_tse_phy_add_profile. I use this now and use a common lwIP/TSE driver in 4 products so they can all share the same code. I also deleted the defaults in the Altera code - I won't be switching and don't use any of them. The individual NIOS II projects each include the BSP for the board but they reference the same common code. Fortunately, 12.x fixes the bug in 10.x that prevented referencing common code. Yes, we used the 88E119R. I've also moved 3 of the 4 Cyclone III projects to NIOS 12.x and have had no trouble with the TSE or with lwIP, which was also upgraded to 4.1. Fortunately lwIP is very portable.
