EK-TM4C1294XL-Connected-LaunchPad - EXOSITE example - device not activated

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: EK-TM4C1294XL

Hi everyone, I'm trying to make work the exosite example: the one about the junction temperature graph, the tic-tac-toe... etc but I'm having porblems with the activation of my device. As the subjecto of the question says I'm using a EK-TM4C1294XL launchpad: but the dashboard lokks like this:

As you see the launchpad it is not activated.

So I have tried debugging the network status using a terminal program (putty in this case) and it seems like it doesn't obtain the ip adress, just like this:

I have read that the terminal must to shows connection data like: launchpad's MAC, IP, CIK code, etc.

I tried to connect the ethernet cable directly to the modem (not to the router as I connected the first time) but it didn't work too.

I hope someome can give some advice, thanks in advance:

    Hi Martin,

        Did you follow the guide for the example program? See, the youtube video guide below if you have not.

    Hi kel,
    yes of course I have followed all the steps, in fact i have tried to delete the device and reconfigure it again! but it didn't work, as I said I have read in the exosite help page that the porblem is connected to the network as if the CIK ca n't be verified with the board, I really don't know. The problem still goes on...

    Thanks!

    Hello Martin,

    From the console output, it looks like the IP address is not acquired. Are you connecting to a DHCP server, that can provide IP address? Make sure the Ethernet cable being used is working and check for any loose connection.

    Thanks,

    The ethernet wire works fine and yes my internet service uses a DHCP server. Is there any matter with it? if yes how can I solve it?

    Thanks, Martin

    Hello Martin,

    Can you connect you PC the same way you are connecting the board and still get a dynamic IP address? If yes, then I am not sure what would cause the board to not get an IP address. Are you using the unchanged "enet_io" applicaiton from TivaWare?

    Thanks,
    Sai

    Hi fellows, look I've been trying to make it works until the putty shows me this data:

    So I realize the board was running the enet_io example, the one that embbed the following webiste:

    Probably this program is loaded since the last time I open the CCS studio. I wanted to know if this is related to the exosite app I'm trying to run. Finally i have looking up my router settings and I realised that in the DHCP clients it doesn't detect the ti launchpad's MAC adress as you see in the following picture:

    As you see the only MAC adress registred is the desktop pc's one. Could this be the reason why the exosite app doesn't work?

    Thanks at all! regards

    Martin!

    Hi Martin,

    169.254.197.196 looks like launch pad self assigned IP address and not from your routers DHCP pool. A range of client addresses your DHCP sever can assign to devices in your local network like range 192.168.10. 1 - 192.168.10.20 mask 255.255.255.0. That gives your router modem etc.. 19 IP addresses for DHCP auto assignment.
