Can someone please help me in writing a program for server and client on nios II EDS using Nichestack TCP/IP. I want to communicate between two pc's using a altera startix board on one computer by an ethernet cable.Nios II eds has "simple socket server" example provided by altera. modifying that i want to create my own program which will enable me to transfer data from one pc which will act as server and another pc which will act as client.

I'm still in the middle of learning, but these are helping me currently:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bsd_socket Explains sockets and this is what the niche stack is built on. The link posted by someone in the second post http://www.abc.se/~m6695/udp.html and the book "TCP/IP Sockets in C" by Donahoo and Calvert. Sorry i can't help more i'm still trying to customise and learn atm. - Altera_Forum
First off, you don't want to use "simple" socket server to start learning about sockets. It (along with most/all of the other provided examples) make use of asynchronous sockets. While not too difficult to understand, they are more complex (and efficient) than what is necessary to setup a simple communications/data transfer medium.
I like W. Richard Stevens' classic "unix network programming (http://www.kohala.com/start/unp.html)" (the first edition). The source code at the link should be enough to get you going...it worked for me... The tftp server/client was particular useful. Cheers, slacker - Altera_Forum
Hi Sir,
I did manage to send UDP packet with DM9000A PHY/MAC using Altera DE2 board. Since i am using window, i am using the winsock program instead of bsd to receive the udp packet as show in the link below: http://www.codeproject.com/kb/ip/udptime.aspx But the code hang at the code line below: recvfrom(sd, (char *)¤t_time, (int)sizeof(current_time), 0, (struct sockaddr *)&server, &server_length) < 0) Anybody have experience using winsock here? Please give me some help. Thanks. - Altera_Forum--- Quote Start --- OOOH Yes .................. I have done it...............
