Zybo Server Demo PHY Autonegotiation Fails

[electronicsdevices]

I get this error when running the ZYBO server demo on linux

-----lwIP TCP echo server ------
TCP packets sent to port 6001 will be echoed back
Start PHY autonegotiation
Waiting for PHY to complete autonegotiation.
Auto negotiation error
Phy setup error
Assert due to phy setup failure

I don't know what to do.

@electronicsdevices,

If your network autonegotiation fails, check your network cable and your router.  What it means is that your ethernet PHY is trying to contact your router to determine the speed of the network, and it's not getting a response from the router.

I've tried several cables and it's the same result. All my other devices have a green light on my router, but plugging in my ZYBO board gives an orange light. I've tried different physical ports and its the same result.

I just tried the demo using someone else's wired Ethernet connection and I'm still getting the same result.

Hi @electronicsdevices,

So to clarify you are running linux and trying this demo. Are you using a VM? What Distro and version of Linux?

cheers,

Jon

[Sergiu]

Could you also specify the version of Vivado / SDK that you are using?

Please go to the XSCT console and type in the following command and tell me what it says:

configbsp -bsp <bsp_name> -lib lwip141

Yes I am running Linux.

Yes I am running this demo https://reference.digilentinc.com/learn/programmable-logic/tutorials/zybo-getting-started-with-zynq-server/start

No I am not using a VM

Distro info:

Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release:    16.04
Codename:    xenial

@Sergiu

I am using Vivado 2017.1 and Xilinx SDK 2017.1.

This is what the XSCT console says:

Hi,

I believe the problem is caused by the fact that the ethernet phy found on the Zybo might not be compatible with Xilinx's lwip. Therefore I believe the solution would be to set the speed manually (right now its on autodetect which I think is the part that fails). In order to set it manually please enter the following command in the XSCT console:

configbsp -bsp <bsp_name> phy_link_speed CONFIG_LINKSPEED1000  --to set the speed

configbsp -bsp <bsp_name> -lib lwip141   --to check if it's set

regenbsp -bsp <bsp_name>    --regenerate the bsp

When I try launching it, I get this error:

Description    Resource    Path    Location    Type
fatal error: lwip/err.h: No such file or directory    echo.c    /echo/src    line 36    C/C++ Problem

 

[Sergiu]

Well, err.h is part of the lwip library. I don't know how it can go missing. Have you tried regenerating the bsp? Is lwip correctly included in the bsp? I just ran the echo example on a zybo (2017.1) and I had no issues other than the CONFIG_LINKSPEED1000 parameter. I can send you the project if you want and you can compare it with yours.

@Sergiu

I don't understand why, but when I opened up the project today, the library was there. I ended up getting it working after all.

As feedback, your suggestion about the the Zybo possibly not being compatible with Xilinx's lwip and manually configuring it is what made the difference. You should put it in the tutorial to save people the frustration I went through.

Thank you.

[Sergiu]

Well I'm glad to see that you got it going. Indeed that workaround should be included somewhere.

Have a good day,

Sergiu
