Re: Ethernet ping issue with Arria 10 Development Kit

BPani1 · ‎02-06-2019

Hi ,

I am using quartus prime-18.1 version and Arria 10 Development kit(Serial Number:10APCIe0002691) .

I am trying to ping the ethernet from the host which is connected one to one.

I have assigned the static ip on both.

I am not able to ping the board from host.Please let me know if any one found any issue.Below is the console log.Also i am attaching the NIOS software code with this.

Console log:

Hi Biswajit, You may want to try with lower level debug on TSE MAC first. Example like performing loopback testing to see where is the failure point. 1) Loopback within TSE IP 2) Loopback on External PHY chip 3) Then only finally loopback on external host side if possible If loopback is working then most likely is your higher software application layer issue. Thanks. Regards, dlim

Hi ,

Thanks alot for your reply.But please explain how to perform the loopback within the TSE IP and on External PHY chip.

If i can get the reference design for the EVM which can compiled on 18.1 will be helpful.

Regards,

Biswajit

Deshi_Intel · ‎02-11-2019

Hi Biswajit, I found out about one A10 TSE reference design but it’s just tested the MAC functionality only. User needs to add own design for TCP/IP testing. • https://fpgacloud.intel.com/devstore/platform/15.0.0/Standard/arria-10-single-port-triple-speed-ethernet-and-on-board-phy-chip-design/ 1. For internal loopback within FPGA TSE IP • TSE IP user guide is available in below link • https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_ethernet.pdf • You can refer to chapter 4.1.9 for the “MAC local loopback” and chapter 4.2.8 for “PHY PCS/PMA loopback” 2. For on board external PHY chip loopback • You can refer to PHY chip datasheet for the register setting or consult the PHY chip vendor for support 3. For on board external host loopback • You can check your board to see whether it’s able to perform cable loopback somewhere on board Thanks. Regards, Deshi

Hi Deshi,

I am able to configure the registers for MAC loop back test.But I don't know how to transmit a packet or receive a packet to confirm any MAC loop back is passed or failed.

Can you please share the API i should use to transmit the data.

Waiting for your valuable input.

Regards,

Biswajit

Deshi_Intel · ‎02-13-2019

Hi Biswajit, There is no software API. We expect user should know how to handle Ethernet IP data packet. Alternatively, you can refer to A10 TSE reference design that I shared with you earlier. The reference design should contains example traffic generator and checker design but the design should be in RTL form. Thanks. Regards, dlim

BPani1 · ‎02-13-2019

Hi Dlim,

My concern is how to create a tcp packet and send it to the MAC .

If you have sample application which does transmitting of data will be helpful.

Also please share the Ethernet sample design file without loop back which i can build on quartus prime 18.1 version and test on the EVM

Regards,

Biswajit

Hi Biswajit, Sorry, I am not familiar with how to generate TCP packet either. You can try google for answer. Hopefully some other experience user can jump in to help you or engage 3rd party designer house for design service. For the TSE MAC reference design, loopback is just a parameter controlled in tcl script. Thanks. Regards, dlim
