Honored ContributorDear Neal,
I'm working on the DE1-SoC board, and I have to make a driver to initialize the ethernet controller, I have the same controller that you are using. I'm very grateful if you can share the driver of the micrel KSZ9021 Thank you Gianluca --- Quote Start --- Hi all, I am working on a custom board which has a Stratix iv FPGA and a Micrel KSZ9021 ethernet phy. The hardware design is the same as the triple speed ethernet example which includes TSE MAC, SGDMA, and DDR3. As to the Nios II code, I use the web server(RGMII) template and modify it a little bit. The modification I did is: 1. hard coded the MAC address(instead of reading from flash) and use static IP 2. comment out the LED tasks and so on to simply test the ethernet connection 3. wrote a driver for the phy and plug it in the altera_avalon_tse.c Everything compiles fine and initialization is successful as the outputs below shows: ------------------------------------------------------------- InterNiche Portable TCP/IP, v3.1 Copyright 1996-2008 by InterNiche Technologies.

And I find the problem behind it is that every time the program receives a ping, the main function restarts and everything gets re-initialized including the phy! I've tried to trace the whole program in debug mode but couldn't locate the problem. I have to admit I'm pretty new to micro-OS and InterNiche and need suggestions in solving this problem. Thank you in advance! Neal --- Quote End ---
