OpenCL on DE1-SoC and DE10-Standard V16

Hello,

I wonder if anyone has had any success with the V16 OpenCL images for the DE1-SoC or DE10-Standard boards.

The issue seems to be the linux implementation and the network configuration.

On the V14 implementation on the DE1-SoC everything worked fine and the same MAC address was used.

On the V16 implementaion on the DE1-SoC there is network support but the MAC address is random which is not ideal in a University environment as I can't register it to get an IP Address.

For the V16 Implentation on the DE10-Standard the networking support does not seem to work at all.

Can anyone tell me what to modify to make progress on either of the boards?

Thanks,

J

    Hello,

    I'll answer my own question in case anyone else gets stuck at this point.

    For both the DE1-SoC and DE10-Standard V16 of the OpenCL Board Support package SD Card images from Terasic the MAC is not set in the MMC.

    It can be set by stopping UBOOT (by pressing a key during boot) and specifying it using

    setenv ethaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

    saveenv

    (where xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is the MAC address you want to set the board to)

    and then booting

    (Thanks Terasic for the Information)

    However that doesn't enable IPV4 networking on the DE10-Standard

    the network needs enabling with

    ifconfig eth0 up

    and then if you are on DHCP requesting an IP address with

    udhcpc

    (Thanks Shaonan for the information)

    Once it was on the network I did an

    opkg update

    opkg upgrade

    and rebooted.

    The IPV4 networking was then working fine and it allocated an IP address via DHCP.
