14 years agoIf you want to use DHCP you need a DHCP server on your network. Do you have it?
During initial testing you'd better disable DHCP and use a fixed well known IP address. If you can't ping it, there are a number of possible reasons: - your pc is not configured with the same subnet as the DE4 board. Check network settings on your pc - your fpga design is not fully constrained and it possibly has timing problems - other flaws in fpga design (i.e. pin assignment): did you use a standard sample design or did you build it from scratch? - you missed something in Nios bsp or application settings
