Data transfer from PC to Arria 10 GX and ADRV9371-W/PCBZ

There is no sample code to use Ethernet as No-OS is not meant for this purpose. Its meant for an optimized design not for those starting out.

If you are just starting out with the ADRV9371 we recommend starting with the Linux-based SD cards which give you Ethernet and a full OS environment on the board: https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/linux-software/embedded_arm_images?s[]=fmc&s[]=sd

You will also be able to connect to tools like MATLAB, IIO-Scope, our Python support, ...

Hi Travis,

If I build a Nios2 Linux image from this page to run on my Arria 10 GX development board

https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/linux-drivers/platforms/nios2

Would I be able to utilize the Ethernet port and tools that you mentioned above ?

Thanks

There seems to be no rootfs filesystem.

Did you configure one?

Hi aardelean,

I used the script method in the link above. I thought it did all that's needed.

How do I configure it ?

Thanks

Nick

Hi Nick,

I'll try to do a test too. I might be able to do it tomorrow.

Nick,

Can you try the attached zImage? I've manually built the buildroot and the kernel using their master branches. It seems to properly boot on my side:

Hi Dragos,

Thanks a lot !! It works on mine as well. 

Could you please show me how to build it ?

Thanks
