Ethernet is not running in Zedboard

Former Member

I was trying to migrate the WinCE BSP for Xilinx ZC702 for ZedBoard and got stuck in getting the Ethernet working.
After I change the PHY address to 0 it successfully completes the autonegotiation and reports the link speed. There after it fails and looks like it is not receiving any frames.
I blamed the PHY chip differences and spend couple of days in the data sheets and no luck. At that point I thought of trying with the supplied Linux boot image(till then I used the xilinx XPS and run the sample based on the hw definition file from Zedboard and didn't check the LAN).
Surprisingly it didn't even do the self pinging, I changed the IP address but it stuck with the ping command as follows
PING 192.168.1.10 (192.168.1.10): 56 data bytes

Out of the 3 boards we have I checked two and got the same results. Any help is much appreciated.

    Hi Seetharam,

    We have a Getting Started Guide posted in the Documents section on ZedBoard.org which contains a section on using the ZedBoard Ethernet.

    http://zedboard.org/sites/default/files/documentations/GS-AES-Z7EV-7Z020-G-14.1-V6%5B1%5D.pdf

    Although it does not cover usage of the ping command, it does cover the http, ftp, and ssh support that should be available using the out of box SD card content.

    Have you checked this document to see if any of these Linux features are operational over your Ethernet connection?

    Regards,

    -Kevin

    Hi Kevin,
    Thanks for the prompt reply.
    I ran as per the document and it is working fine(except the SSH client I tried the http & ftp from my browser) and then  ping the PC from the Zedboard. Only the self pinging is not working. Self Pinging(Loop back) is working on the ZC702 board. I tried with the IP address(192.168.1.10) using the straight cable between PC and zedboard and after changing the IP address to match with the LAN setup through hub. Both way no differences
    I wasn't sure any other settings(I like to get some explanation why self pinging is working on EZ702 and not in ZedBoard) causes the ethernet chip not working. I see the error as DHCP server not responding but the static one also not picking up.
