9 years ago --- Quote Start --- why The USB to Ethernet adapter is key. --- Quote End --- I'm using a windows system, and I don't have much experience with wireshark, or controlling Ethernet traffic through my machine. So I'm using a USB-Ethernet adapter to create a dedicated Ethernet interface on my laptop that is not being used by my PC for anything else. I found that using wireshark to capture on a dedicated Ethernet interface listening to only my FPGA was a big help in seeing the traffic being generated in the FPGA. You either get nothing or packets from your hardware. Once I had got the Ethernet header correct, wireshark helped me debug the rest of the packet. --- Quote Start --- should i write sdc file for my project ? or just use IP core's sdc file ? thanks for your attention --- Quote End --- There is an .sdc file provided by the IP, if you open the .qip file in a text editor you will see the path to your sdc. It's automatically included in the project if you added the .qip generated at the time you generated the TSE core for your FPGA.
