Any experience with ping_app on niche-stack

[Altera_Forum]

Hello all, 

has anyone experience with the ping-app within the niche-stack? How can a ping be started? How can i get the ping statistics? How to setup parameters like detination ip, timeout, ttl, data-size, etc? Is there any example code? :confused:

Do you mean to ping niche stack from an external device or do you want niche stack to send a ping? Probably the second one, since the first one is the basic way of operation. 

I never tried pining from iniche but I think it is quite simple. Try with send_arp() function.  You'll find it in et_arp.c file in /altera.components/Nios II Software Packages/altera_iniche/UCOSII/src/ip/ If not this function, look in other files in the same ip directory.
