Simple socket server example ---> unable to find working interfaces

Hello, 

 

I started working with Altera Stratix 4 GX development board recently. I am trying to run the simple socket server example (nios 2 ethernet standard example - https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/design-examples/intellectual-property/embedded/nios-ii/exm-net-std-de.tablet.html).  

 

Reading from other posts I was able to build and compile it with static IP. I changed the BSP to disable DHCP. When I run it on the board, it seems not to recognize the Ethernet interface.  

 

It says:  

prepped 0 interfaces, initializing... 

inet setup error: unable to find any working interfaces 

panic: IP 

dtrap - needs breakpoint 

 

Can anyone give a hint to where should I look to debug this? Or what should I do? 

 

Thank You, 

Sud

Hi all, 

 

I found that Altera no longer supports the NicheStack TCP/IP Stack - Nios II Edition.

Is there any other alternative to buying the license?  

 

If someone else faced the same problem as me and solved it.. let me know.
