WORKING: DE2-115 Simple Socket Server

Hi guys,

m trying to replicate the results here. I believe im following all the correct steps, but when i run it, no text shows up in the nios console window. It downloads ok, but i get no errors, no messages, just a blank screen.

Does anyone know what mght be causing that or what to check?

I am not loading anything to flash memory. just programming the sof and the elf.

never get to the code that says

printf("\nSimple Socket Server starting up\n");

i dont think im getting past here:

while (!iniche_net_ready)

TK_SLEEP(1);

and i get some kind of terminated exit value on the download inside the debug window? see attached

The last thing that shows up on the console is listenng on port ... for connection from GDB, thats in debug mode. see attached

Also, i dont get any complaints about mac address like this:

"Can't read the MAC address from your board (this probably means that your flash was erased). We will assign you a MAC address and static network settings"

One other thing: in the bsp editor, for the stdin,out,err, i dont have the option for "peripheral_subsystem_jtag_uart"... just jtag_uart. but i think thats ok as the qsys file just says jtag_uart. but this might be a reason i dont see any output on screen

thanks
