hii i have the max 10 neek dev board and i would like to run the socket-server in the demonstration folder - the dev board comes with a cd which has all types of examples i followed the link below : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAY2NSB0XEw the project is as i said from the : MAX10_NEEK_v.1.0.7_SystemCD so it suppose to work , but some how when i open nios 2 , i can see that there are 2 error ,and when i go to the problem tab to see what is the error , i don't see what the error is : i attached the file from the nios , i be glad for any help .

Hi @aiedb , Try to delete existing .h and .c files in socket_server folder. Then go back to Eclipse and right-click to refresh. Next, right-click the Makefile -> Import -> General -> File System -> Next -> Browse to software folder -> Tick .h and .c files to include -> Finish. Last, rebuild the project. If the error still not being resolved, create a new Nios II Application and BSP from Template with: SOPC: max10_qsys.sopcinfo Template: Simple Socket Server After creating new project, follow the four steps mentioned above will do. **One more step: Right-click project -> Nios II -> BSP Editor... -> sys_clk_time: sys_timer -> Generate -> Exit -> No, Don't Save Best regards, Sheng p/s: If any answer from the community or Intel Support are helpful, please feel free to give best answer or rate 4/5 survey.

hii i tried the first option i deleted the files and when i tried to add them , by the 4 step process you described i didn't manage to add the . i got stuck in this window(see the picture attached ) , and there is no next or finish tab, how can i add the .c .h files back to the project ??? thanks for your help

Hi @aiedb , I think you're over browse. Browse until ..\socket_server_4\software will be enough and tick the following files: alt_error_handler.c alt_error_handler.h iniche_init.c led.c network_utilities.c network_utilities.h simple_socket_server.c simple_socket_server.h tse_my_system.c Best regards, Sheng p/s: If any answer from the community or Intel Support are helpful, please feel free to give best answer or rate 4/5 survey.

hii thanks for your quick reply i tried the first option it didn't work for me , so i created a new nios project from template , and deleted .c.h files , and added them again i built the project and i see an error that altera_msgdma.h is not defined and indeed , when i look at the included files in the drivers folder of the bsp , i can see that the include file has a different names , for example altera_msgdma.h is named altera_avalon_msgdma.h ( i attached the picture ) , plus i see "altera_msgdma_prefetcher_regs.h" that is included in ins_tse_mac.h , and when i look at drivers folder of the bsp , i don't see any file that is related to it .even with a different name how can i advance from here to clean the error and build the project .

Hi @aiedb , I know your problem now. That example project is created using the old Quartus II 15.0 and the related Eclipse is eclipse KEPLER check image: I'm able to build the project with the steps mentioned using eclipse KEPLER. For old version Quartus, Eclipse IDE is built inside the software so not need to download and install separately.

  hii ,good morning
  
  i downloaded the example , and i restored the archived project
  
  and i don't see that there are output folder which have sof file of the project .
  
  so i opened the system in qsys in order to compile the project , to produce sof file , but somehow the qsys gets stuck while opening the system , and i am not able to compile the project .
  
  i tried restarting my my pc and restarting quartus without any success unfortunately.
  
  i think my best chance if you have a project that works , even the demonstration project of max10 neek , if you can zip it and upload it to gethub or onedrive and send me a link so i can download it into my pc ,and try it out
  
  thanks for your kind help

Hi @aiedb ,

The sof file is in the master_image folder. I attahced the .sof file and .sopcinfo files below. The rest you just follow the steps in this document https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/programmable/support-resources/fpga-wiki/asset03/simple-socket-ethernet.pdf will do. Make sure eclipse KEPLER is used to create the bsp software files.

Thanks,

Best regards,

Sheng

Hi @aiedb ,

I had tested the MAX10_NEEK_v.1.0.7_SystemCD socket server design on MAX 10 NEEK board (image):

and worked as expected (image):

File attached below. One more concern will be are you using Altera USB-Blaster II for programming?

Make sure also Ethernet cable is connected.

Also when Auto Detect, make sure you're choosing 10M50DAES.

As for Design Store socket server design, you have to use this MAX 10 board (image):

Thanks,

Best Regards,

Sheng

  hii
  
  thanks so much for your help
  
  today i managed to activate the socket server completely finally , i was wondering i want to do a project that the max10_neek div board will be a udp_client that sends a message periodically to a pc (the pc will be a udp server ) , the pc will receive the message and send a reply to the udp client (max10 neek)
  
  is there any example design that's gets me started ?

Hi @aiedb ,

As this is effectively a new question and seems unrelated to the problems we have been addressing in this current CASE, I would prefer a new thread to address it in for better viewing.

I will close this current case and will pick up the new one when it comes in.

Thanks,

Best Regards,

Sheng
