ALPHA250 connection

[Mohammed-678]

Hi I have a problem sending my bitstream file to the ALPHA250 card I configured ethernet connection between the host and a Zynq board as precised on koheron website but I don't know what is the next step

I'm not sure I understand your issue.
When you enter the board IP address into a web browser, do you managed to access the instrument webpage ?

[Mohammed-678]

No I don't
The leds are the binary representation of 100
so i tried 192.168.1.100
I looked for my IP adress in parameters IPv4 it says that is 10.42.0.100
when i enter this IP adresss it says refused to connect

Did you try to set up a direct ethernet connection or do you connect the board to a local network ?

[Mohammed-678]

I did a direct ethernet connection as specefied in the page that you sent

[tvanderbruggen]

10.42.0.100 seems like a good IP address for direct link, I guess you assigned a static address for the board ?

Problem must come from the configuration of your computer, do you use Windows or Linux ?

[Mohammed-678]

I use windows

In the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) properties you should set an IP address different from the board IP,
for example 10.42.0.42 for your PC and 10.42.0.100 for the ALPHA250.

If this still doesn't work, can you show me me the content of the /etc/network/interfaces on the ALPHA250 board? (Using
the USB serial )

[Mohammed-678]

Still no result

Alternate DNS server should be 10.42.0.255 instead of 10.42.0.2 (see https://www.koheron.com/support/tutorials/setup-direct-ethernet-static-ip/), but I'm not sure that's the issue.

Can you show the content of the /etc/network/interfaces file on the ALPHA250 board ? (Using
the USB serial )

[Mohammed-678]

I have problems with assigning a static IP address to a Zynq board I receive the error message "The disc image file is corrupted" when trying to mount a Koheron-alpha250_v0.22 file
Also it suggeset to me only the communication port COM1 when I try to Set up a USB serial connection between a host and a Zynq board on the terminal program Tera term and not the USB serial port

[tvanderbruggen]

The image is a Linux image, it will be difficult to mount it on Windows.

Did you try to connect to COM1 ? The USB serial port appears as a virtual COM port on Teraterm.

[Mohammed-678]

I fixed the problem thank you very much it was a problrm recognizing the USB Serial Port , I just installed a VCP driver and then I did the same step and it worked

Hi

I'm facing nearly the same problem I didn't assign an IP adress to the board cause I can't edit the /etc/network/interfaces file, it says that it is on reading mode only (so it remains DHCP configuration)
I configured my ip adress to 192.168.1.5
the led are indicating 255
when I ping the 192.168.1.255 it can't find it

Kind regards
