Hello!

I have assigned my computer a static IP for the ethernet port with the required subnet mask. However, I am unable to ping or connect to the PYNQ board. Is there a way to debug this? All the PYNQ board LED lights that should be on are one, and LD8/LD9 flash intermittently, suggesting the ethernet connection is sort of there. What can I do to fix this?

Maybe paste exactly what IP you used for your PC? How did you connect your board and PC?
