TSE beginner's problems

Hi guys, 

 

Got a problem, would really appreciate some help. I've trying to develop with a Stratix III dev board, the project involves utilising a TSE IP. Thing is, Im fairly new to developing with FPGAs and even newer to networking, so I'm a bit lost. Currently to try and keep things simple I'm using the standard project that came with the dev kit which includes the TSE and a pair of SGDMA modules. 

 

Almost all of the guides and examples that I've found are a little too specific or very complex, what I'm looking for is a kinda better picture of exactly how the IP core acts, what kinda data needs to be sent to it, the fundamentals of how it needs to be programmed in Nios dev tools, etc. Sadly there doesn't seem to be many 'beginner's guides' available... any help would be very much appreciated. 

 

Thanks!

If You want to use InterNiche TCP/IP stack, then You'll have to learn as is. Read the source, try to understand it. 

 

If You want to send/receive ethernet packets without using TCP/IP stack, then check UDP Offload Example from alterawiki.com

What is the InterNiche TCP/IP stack? I've heard it mentioned a lot but not entirely sure what it is.

O.k, well let me generalise - how do you use the stack? There isn't any altera-related documentation on the InterNiche site. 

 

*ah hang about - there is some but it's not related to stratix III...

The stack is not related to any device. It is a software thing - higher level stuff.
