Server not responsive / what do I do with the ethernet port? #5
Comments
Hi @jadafi, can you try to ping the board at Once ping will be responding, the rest should work as described in the README. |
I'm loosing all packets...
when capturing the packets at my ethernet card I get lots of ARP requests:
Not quite sure but it seems like it searches for some |
@jadafi: i'm not sure which bitstream you are running. (if it try to reach |
Hey, I build the bitstream from https://github.com/litex-hub/litex-boards.git (the colorlight target) using multiple different build options. Currently I am back to trying to get the bitstream from this (colorlite) repo to work. My current problem is that I do not have a ftdi at hand -> I am using a dirtyJtag to upload the bitstream. Is loading sufficient ( |
|
Can I replace the load step by running (in the gateware folder): With BSDLLFE5U25FCABGA256.bsm in the same folder.
|
Just to be sure: I have the ethernet cable directly connected to the PC. Is that correct? |
@jadafi: sorry i'm not familiar with dirtyJtag. Having the Ethernet cable directly connected to the PC is fine yes. I think you first have to verify if you are able to load a bitstream correctly. To do so, you can try to replace https://github.com/enjoy-digital/colorlite/blob/master/colorlite.py#L85-L86 with:
and then verify that after loading the bitsteam, the led is blinking correcly. Once ok, you can try to ping the board at the configured ip address. |
Well It does blink, when I insert your code, but still no ping :/ |
Can you provide the generated bitstream? With the command that is used to generate it? |
I am currently not in reach of my pc. Currently setting up a new machine. Pls stand by |
Hi, did you get this running? Because I have the same problem, even with the prebuilt bitstream, the board won't respond to pings. |
No ping replies (or any network activity) here either. I am using:
I'm using a glasgow to program the svf, and get a blinking LED with the above snippet

Hi @jadafi, @rednaz1337, @wlcx, I just updated the design with 959f447 and tested it. An update was required to take into account the LiteEth fixes from enjoy-digital/liteeth#51. Please find attached the Note that this project uses a revision 7.0 of the ColorLight 5A-75B, it should be possible to run it on another revision, but maybe with minor adaptations. Florent |
Hi, I used the colorlite.svf in colorlite_2020_11_23.zip. Lin |
Hi VisionShilin, can you provide more information:
Thanks |
Hi, Lin |
For test_flash.py, make sure open litex_server before:
|
Thanks. |
Thanks a lot, this finally works! I used a 10/100Mbit switch before. Using a gigabit switch and the newest commit it works! 😄 |
I am a bloody beginner, so this is probably very simple...
I was able to build and load. Flash gets stuck at 10% saying that a two read was not as expected. But from my understanding it should suffice to load the bitstream into the FPGA.
I get no response to the blink test. I think I have the ethernet cable plugged in incorrectly/something is not set up properly in that regard. Can I connect the Ethernet cable directly to the host PC or do I have to connect it to my LAN? When looking at the ethernet ports the left one is the one to use, right? In which order should I plug in, start client, load bitstream ?
I am sorry for all that confusion...
