hOW to connect the DM9000 inDE2

Hello,

This is the way to get DHCPclient running on your DE_board.

1.) Select dhcpcd-new nothing else as your client from the menuconfig-->User selection-->

2.) In the rc file get the Mac address set up using

ifconfing eth0 MAC-ADDRESS

3.) Still in the rc file just go dhcpcd &

4.) That should give you a IP from the server, It took me so long to get this working because my board is new and I had to register it with the admin. But I just stole the MAC-Address from the computer already hooked up and put that as the mac-address and thus instantly got assigned its IP.

Note: This is not a perfect method since /etc/dhcp/ directory does not exist in the romfs file system it would be good to have that since dhcpcd tries to write to this file.

Also dhcpcd-new says it works only for the 2.0 and 2.4 kernel it actually compiles for 2.6 and thus works fine.

Another way of doing this (a better way) is to use udhcp in busy-box but it needs a default.script file which needs to be written in either C-or-perl since sash cannot run bash scripts. I will post the udhcp method once I get it running.

regards,

Tanks !

Now I can do it in DE2 Board , But I find a problem ,

I layout a new pcb board using EP2C5 and DM9000.

now I can't ping the board .

The board have not a flash for store HW addr.

Hipp

But I find a strange things . the LED2 of DM9000 awaly keep flash, do you meet these problem ?

I can not ping the board form my pc.

Hello,

The led keeps on flashing that means that your Dm9000A is being detected but that does not necessarily mean that you are hooked up to the network.

If you are using DHCP and not getting any ping to your board that means you are not hooked for sure. Why dont you change the MAc-address this way

This is if you are using DHCP:

get the MAC-address of one of your computers hooked up to the network and running find its mac-address if you are on windows then use ipconfig on comman prompt should give you the MAc-address.

Unhook the computer from the network and set this mac-address as the mac-address for your borad by going

ifconfig eth0 hw ether xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx (this is the computer mac-address).

then go dhcpcd & (this should say something like unable to write to /usr/share/something... and if not able to connect timed-out

Next go ifconfig and it will show the new IP address obtained from the DHCP server.

you should be able to ping it with your computer.

If you have a static IP then: again if you are going through the network get the IP from some other computer which actually works and set that as your IP (unhook this computer from the network)

ifconfig eth0 (new IP).

trying pinging it from your other computer using this IP. This should work

If all of this fails then: I would set up a straight socket connection with server running on the board and client running on the computer. Although this would need you to know raw-ethernet socket programming. http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif good-luck.

madman23 Thank you

Now I think you maybe understand my question.

I have do it OK in my DE2 board .

I design a board using DM9000, The Sch is the same to DE2 .

linux can be run in the same network , but when i use my new board . I find the LED2 Keep flash ,I don&#39;t know what&#39;s wrong . hardware ? sotfware?

could you help me ! thanks !

I looked at your pinging post. I think you did not ping the right IP becauase the last number is .2 not .20, also I have some questions;

1.) When you hook up the ethernet do you get lights flashing straight away.

2.) If you go ifconfig eth0 down do you still get the leds flashing--> This should not happen.

This is just to get some more info about your design.

regards,

192.168.1.21 is the board . 192.168.1.3 is my PC .

So I think the dm9000 can send the packets to my pc , the baord can&#39;t receive the packets .

I have check the sch and PCB . It is the same as the reference of DE2 .

Did you check the design guide or layout guide of DM9000A?

The layout of tx rx pairs are critical.

Did you use the same PHY transformer?
