Help: Simple Socket Server - Stratix IV GX

@Galfonz

I have used the web server file of the Stratix IV and I just wanted to run the Qsys file and generate it but it gives me an error though I did not change anything, knowing that the file was for version 12 but it says it can be used in letter versions also, the error is

Error: eth_std_main_system.ethernet_subsystem.tse_mac: Component triple_speed_ethernet 12.0 not found or could not be instantiated

my version is Quartus 15 all other components written used (version 15 instead of 12), but I did not find this component.

Am new in it please guide me

thank you

hi,

it means that the triple speed eth 12.0 is out of date so you ll have to instantiate the newest version from qsys (quartus2 15.0 related) and make the connexions by yourself. in the search bar, look for triple speed ethernet.

Hi I have managed to make everything work but it seems that packets are sent from the FPGA but nothing is received... !! what will possibly be wrong ? I used Putty software using Telnet connection in port 30 but nothing seems to appear. though I have no error in the program

please advice

does a ping responds at least?

No even the ping does not respond !!

post your hdl code please so i can try to help.

when I run the software this is what I get

I don't understand why am I getting that IP address,

the software am running is from altera hardware example designs this is the code that is specifically for the IP address portion

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* or we are setting our own static IP, Gateway, and Subnet Mask addresses our

* self. This routine is where that happens.

{

return 1;

Another thing that the software asks for the serial number to generate the mac address I couldnt find the serial number on the box so I just enetered random " 111111111111111" number.

So what can I do with the IP address or should i eneter it manually since its a static IP ?

1-is the FPGA connected to a switch or directly to your pc?

2-if it s connected to a switch, ask your admin to give you a mac address related to a IP/DHCP, he will it give to you.

3- GO Qsys and disable PCS options in tse, since you re using an external phy

4- For mac address in software, this example assumes you have this info in an external flash, but you can override it with this (network_utilities.c):

error_t get_board_mac_addr(unsigned char mac_addr)
{
    error_t error = 0;
    alt_u32 signature;
    mac_addr = 0x00;
    mac_addr = 0x07;
    mac_addr = 0xED;
    mac_addr = 0xFF;
    mac_addr = 0x0C;
    mac_addr = 0x83;
    		return error;
}

replace with mac address you get from your sys admin.

the problem should be resolved then

My FPGA is connected directly to PC, so am not using any DHCP client.

do I have to disable the tse if its connected directly ?

and about the mac address do I replace the whole code of that part (error_t get_board_mac_addr(unsigned char mac_addr[6])
