Ethernet driver (Bare-Metal Application)

Hi,

I'm starting to work with the Zedboard and I'm very lost. I want to establish an Ethernet connection between the board and a PC, running in the Zedboard a bare-metal application.

I've tried to make work the example of the Xilinx driver emacps (which don't seems very simple to me...), but I don't see any result. I'm running the example on the Zedboard and Wireshark in the PC. As long as I know, I should receive some frames from the board, but I don't see anything (after power up the board I see a lot of frames, but they aren't sent from mi application).

Maybe I'm wrong about what the example shoud do. I just want to learn the simplest way to send and receive frames and see it works...

Any help?

Thank you (and sorry for my English...).

Hey sysseon, you missunderstood the example. The example does not send anything to the PC, it makes a selftest useing the loopback function of the PHY. I got Ethernet to work with PC, so if someone needs…

Guys,
If you are looking for a simple example application that uses a TCP/IP protocol stack, you can just generate the echo server example Application in the SDK. That should give you some working code that you can step through with the symbolic debugger to see exactly how the code is structured and how you can set up the low level Ethernet interface.
