Tcp/ip

[Altera_Forum]

Hallo I am a novice for ecos, 

 Sombody guide me how to use tcp/ip stack with eCos for nios 2.    Altera provide HAL device drivers that allow to access the hardware via the HAL API ,like for ethernet device-LAN91C111 Ethernet MAC/PHY Controller.  But LAN91C111 component requires the MicroC/OS-II runtime environment. So how can i use ethernet device-LAN91C111 in eCos environment or which things i have to consider when i want to use ethenet for data transfering using tcp/ip with ecos.  Please assist me,  Thanks,

In there are instructions to get a networked based example runnning.  I suspect your confusion is from looking at the code for the HAL device drivers. These are not used for eCos. The driver for the lan91c111 is found in altera\kits\nios2\components\ecos\packages\dev\eth\smsc\lan91cxx

Is there any reason you cannot use either of those versions?

Actually,My company has ordered NIOS 2 latest version development kit,and the latest ecos will work only with that latest version of NIOS.So until i get latest NIOS 2 i want to work with older version of niOS AND ecos.So i want older version of ecos which can work with older NIOS version, 

 Thanks, But please ready for my coming questions regarding latest version of eCos, NIrav
