arria II development board TSE configuration

Hi, I am quite new here. I am trying to run iniche tcpip stack on the provided Ethernet port(altera TSE MAC connected to Marvell PHY though RGMII). I have enabled MDIO in TSE MAC. 

 

Everything building fine, I download the firmware, without any NIOS application running, none of the LED is on(there are 1000/100/10 indicate LED is directly connected to Marvell PHY :( ) 

 

When I load the software, it stuck at the tse_mac_init, it seems the initilization found the phy on each single address :( and could not identify any of them,(there is only one PHY in the system) 

[tse_mac_init] 

INFO : TSE MAC 0 found at address 0x09002000 

WARNING : Unknown PHY found at PHY address 0x00 of MAC Group[0] 

WARNING : Please add PHY information to PHY profile 

INFO : PHY[0.0] - Automatically mapped to tse_mac_device[0] 

INFO : PHY[0.0] - Restart Auto-Negotiation, checking PHY link... 

INFO : PHY[0.0] - Auto-Negotiation PASSED 

MARVELL : Mode changed to RGMII/Modified MII to Copper mode 

MARVELL : Enable RGMII Timing Control 

MARVELL : PHY reset 

WARNING : Unknown PHY found at PHY address 0x01 of MAC Group[0] 

WARNING : Please add PHY information to PHY profile 

WARNING : PHY[0.X] - Mapping of PHY to MAC failed! Make sure the PHY address is defined correctly in tse_mac_device[] structure, and number of PHYs connected is equivalent to number of channel

WARNING : PHY[0.X] - Mapping of PHY to MAC failed! Make sure the PHY address is defined correctly in tse_mac_device[] structure, and number of PHYs connected is equivalent to number of channel

The Qsys design is quite similar to the reference design from altera net, 2 sg-DMA conneted to PHY use a dedicated two port RAM memory as descriptoer memory.use a bridge connected the rest of the MM slave. and uses the master clock which is 100M Hz 

 

the top level connection is: 

-- Ethernet 

ethernet_rgmii_in => Rgmii_in, 

ethernet_rgmii_out => Rgmii_out,  

ethernet_rx_control => Rgmii_rx_ctl,  

ethernet_tx_control => Rgmii_tx_ctl, 

ethernet_tx_clk => Rgmii_tx_clk, 

ethernet_rx_clk => Rgmii_rx_clk,  

-- -- -- -- 

-- MDIO 

ethernet_mdio_out => mdio_out, 

ethernet_mdio_oen => mdio_oen, 

ethernet_mdio_in => ENET_MDIO, 

ethernet_mdc => ENET_MDC  

 

Apart from mdio_out and mdio_oen(two internal signals, the rest is dirrect connected to FPGA Pins) 

the defind of MDIO out is: 

ENET_MDIO <= mdio_out when (mdio_oen = '0') else ('Z'); 

 

ENET_Phy_Rst_n is permenant set to '1', I have tried '0' it makes no different. 

 

Any silly mistake I have made? Thanks for your help in advance.
