5. Simple Socket Server

The Intel® Cyclone® 10 LP FPGA Evaluation Board ships with the Simple Socket Server design example stored in the factory portion of the flash memory. The design consists of a Nios® II embedded processor and an Ethernet MAC.
Note: The Intel® Cyclone® 10 LP Evaluation Board Rev A1 hardware design does not include Ethernet MAC support. If you have a Rev A1 board, download and install the Rev A2 design. Refer to "Installing the Evaluation Kit Collateral" for instructions to download the Rev A2 design.

When you power up the board, the Intel® Cyclone® 10 LP FPGA configures with the Simple Socket Server design example. The design can obtain an IP address from any DHCP server and serve a telnet server to any host computer on the same network. The telnet server allows you to control the LEDs on the board.

The source code for the Simple Socket Server design resides in the <package dir>\examples\golden_system_ref_design directory. If the Simple Socket Server is corrupted or deleted from the flash memory, you might need to restore the board's original contents, using the BTS application.
