WORKING: DE2-115 Simple Socket Server

Hi ,

I want set network parameters for simple socket server example statically. I am not using DHCP server.

I want to read all network settings like IP address, subnet mask from flash.

How can I have network settings file in flash and the how simple socket server application can read network settings from flash.

I want to have HTML web server application in flash which can be accessed by normal web browser and network settings can be configured.

1.The tutorial mentioned that we will use "sopc_system.sopcinfo ",shall we follow the instruction?

2.Step 3 is "Take the Quartus DE2_115 webserver example for Enet0 RGMII that comes on the CD and use quartus flash programmer to program."Why have we do this?

Hi all. I recently went through the exercise of getting the simple socket server to run on the DE2-115. The first guy who posted got it to work with version 10.1, I got it to work with Quartus 13.0 and the SBT for Eclipse.

I had to make some slightly different modifications to the code to get it to work with the template that comes with 13.0, so I thought I would share it here. The entire process I went through is documented in the attached word document. The code is in the zip file.

I am trying to get the most recent files (above this post) to work. Does the above example have the modification to code outlined in document already applied? I had to manually enter the CFI/EXT mod. So perhaps not? I am stuck at the:

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

And don't seem to be getting anywhere copying the old code at the start of this thread either.

Any pointers?

Hi, I am too getting the same error, I have Quartus 12.0 edition & After downloading DE2_115_WEB_SERVER.sof I am trying to Download the application code (flash file system) for web server. But it gives the following error & asks to type the serial number. Actually I didn't find 9 digit serial number starting with ASJ on DE2115 board. Can anyone please help.

Can't read the MAC address from your board (this probably mean

static network settings

Please enter your 9-digit serial number. This is printed on a

label under your Nios dev. board. The first 3 digits of the

label are ASJ and the serial number follows this.

using hardware design attached with the tutorial on this link https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/design-examples/intellectual-property/embedded/nios-ii/exm-net-std-de.html there is no hardware design related to DE2-115

I tried (niosii-ethernet-standard-3c120.zip ) related to Cyclone III, and I am facing a problem with pin assignment

could you please help me

thanks in advance

I tried it but I still have some problems, during runing I got the MAC and IP addresses and after nearly 1min

I got the following message from the Console then I lose the ip and MAC

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

So it looks like im not getting the MAC address either. I can hardcode the mac address into the code, but i dont know what the mac for my de2-115 is. How can i find out what its set to?

thanks
