    Hello tnndesign,

    does your project support tcp/ip protocols? if not is there any way to make DE2 (cyclone II - c35) support tcp/ip?

    Sorry guys but the last link there does not at all seem to be what it is being claimed.

    The project that is just the ping example, messed aroud a bit

    the project described in this thread speaks of the initche stack, Avalano fabric.

    none of which are in the software included.

    Please anyone that has the original files please submit again as we are also working with a DE2 Board with the DM9000A chip and no avalon driver.

    Thanks
