Honored Contributorsimple socket server connection established, but cannot ping/telnet
hello guys,
I got a problem with simple socket server problem. I post similiar thread in dev kit forum, but no answer until now. I am thinking maybe I could get help from here. Thank you in advance. My situation is here: hardware: cIII 120 develop board software: QII 9.1 sp2, Nios II 9.1 sp2 What i have done: 1. copy the C:\altera\91\nios2eds\examples\verilog\niosII_cycl oneIII_3c120\triple_speed_ethernet_design to my project fold and open with QII 2. open sopc builder and run generate 3. back to QII and compile to generate sof (time limited version) 4. open nios eclipse ide, create a new project with simple socket server template 5. to avoid troulbe, modife get_mac_addr() as: ****************************************** int get_mac_addr(NET net, unsigned char mac_addr[6]) { mac_addr[0]=0xB7; mac_addr[1]=0xA7; mac_addr[2]=0xED; mac_addr[3]=0xFF; mac_addr[4]=0xFF; mac_addr[5]=0xFF; return 0; // return (get_board_mac_addr(mac_addr)); } ****************************************** 6. I disable DHCP in wizard and I use cross cable to connect board and PC directly. 7. run app as "Nios II hardware" what I got: =============== Software License Reminder ================ This software project uses an unlicensed version of the NicheStack TCP/IP Network Stack - Nios II Edition.

Altera_ForumTerasic have managed to fix my problem.
They supplied this file which allows for compilation in Quartus and SOPC Builder 10.0 SP1. In Nios II EDS 10.0, I created a Simple Socket Server example as per the .SOPCINFO file generated from the downloaded files. I then had to copy the files from the QB3/QB3_NET_GMII_NET0/software/ethernet_test/simple_socket_server to overwrite the files in my project. I applied the changes as per the HSMC-NET user manual, and finally it works!- Altera_Forum
I'm glad that you've fixed your problem.
have you compared the files they gave you with your own? is it about the marvell_cfg_gmii? - Altera_Forum
I compared most of the .v files (to compare the hardware) and most of the .c files (to compare the software) and cannot seem to find any differences.
I added the "marvell_cfg_gmii(tse[iface].mi.base);" line to both ins_tse_mac.c files in both projects, so the difference isn't there. - Altera_Forum
just an fyi ... i've been fighting this problem for most of the morning. the suggestion made by
seilaser did the trick. i simply left the quartus-ii programmer open and i can ping as well as run the telnet example. /david - Altera_Forum
Hi guys,
I am also facing the same problem. I am using Arria II GX FPGA on my custom board. Marvell 88E1111 PHY, TSE MAC and RGMII I m using version 10.1 I am not able ping the custom board. @t.yuan Where exactly shall I include "marvell_cfg_gmii(tse[iface].mi.base);" in ins_tse_mac.c my interface standard is RGMII @BenjaminLunsky What exactly u did? can u elaborate? What files you got from Terasic? can u please tell me? URGENT !!!!!! - Altera_Forum

Hi,
I am using Arria II GX FPGA on my custom board. Marvell 88E1111 PHY, TSE MAC and RGMII I m using Quartus version 10.1 I am trying to run Simple Socket Server with RGMII mode on my custom board. I am able to ping my custom board with th IP address I configured on it. But connection establishment between client and server is not happening Do I need to include marvell_cfg_rgmii(tse[iface].mi.base); in ins_tse_mac.c Where exactly shall I include "marvell_cfg_gmii(tse[iface].mi.base);" in ins_tse_mac.c What can be other possible solution? - Altera_Forum
If you can ping the board, there's definitely no problem at the mac/phy levels, so I don't think you need to include that.
Probably you have a wrong SSS code or made a mistake in tcp configuration: infact ping relies on UDP, while the server-client connection requires TCP which is a bit more complex. Using a network analyzer like Wireshark can easily help you to find out if connection initiates and where it fails before being established. - Altera_Forum
@Cris72
I tried to rum same SSS code on Arria II GX development kit. It's running there on dev kit
