Quartus II v15.0 - driver name of triple_speed_ethernet missing

Hello, 

 

I started using Quartus II v15.0 along with Stratix IV GX development kit. I want to run a sample code - Simple Socket Server on it. I am using niosii_ethernet_standard_4sgx230 (https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/design-examples/intellectual-property/embedded/nios-ii/exm-net-std-de.tablet.html)example design . I came to know that the Quartus II v15.0 has different naming or different TSE module than the one in the example design(v12.0). I am not a hardware guy so I did not change it and let it be.  

 

My question is: Does this affect BSP if I create it using the given *.sopcinfo (from example design) in any ways? As I see that driver name of triple_speed_ethernet is missing in the BSP editor. (image is attached). Or the BSP does not need any triple_speed_ethernet driver? 

 

When I run the Simple Socket Server, it is not able to identify any working interface and therefore does not proceed further to identify MAC address or IP address.

To avoid compatibility issue, it is recommended for you to use the QII 12.0 in which the design was created. 12.0 and 15.0 are few major release apart and I would expect significant changes which might cause the older design not working as expect.

For other people struggling with making old design compilation work with newer QII versions, here is the link:
