Hey all!

Trying to send a dummy message from pynq-z2 to host using this protocol:

hostListen.py:

import socket

host = "192.168.2.1"  # FPGA IP
port_ = 9091  # Shared port

with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
    s.bind((host, port_))
    s.listen()
    conn, addr = s.accept()
    with conn:
        print(f"Connected by {addr}")
        while True:
            data = conn.recv(1024)
            if not data:
                break
            conn.sendall(data)

z2SendPing.ipynb:

import socket

host = "192.168.2.1"  # The server's hostname or IP address
port_ = 9091  # The port used by the server

with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
    s.connect((host, port_))
    s.sendall(b"Hello, world")
    data = s.recv(1024)

print(f"Received {data!r}")

But the ping-er stalls …

Does anyone know what the issue is?

If it helps; this is my connection config on windows:

PS C:\Users\...> ipconfig

Will transfer 100 Algos to your Algorand wallet for whoever points to correct solution :biting_lip:

Hi,

This is not really a PYNQ question. However, you have to consider which system is the server, and which system in the client. Then, you can specify the IP addresses properly.

What is even easier is to bind to any IP in the server, like this one A simple Python echo server, show how to write socket program use python. · GitHub

Thanks :slight_smile: … I tried:

import socket

HOST = ''                 # Symbolic name meaning all available interfaces
PORT = 50007              # Arbitrary non-privileged port
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.bind((HOST, PORT))
s.listen(1)

conn, addr = s.accept()
print ('Connected by', addr)
while 1:
  data = conn.recv(1024)
  if not data: break
  conn.sendall(data)
conn.close()

import socket

HOST = ""  # FPGA IP
PORT = 50007  # Shared port

with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
    s.connect((HOST, PORT))
    s.sendall(b"Hello, world")
    data = s.recv(1024)

print(f"Received {data!r}")

But it is still not working … same hang on server side, and [111] connection refused on pynq

:frowning:

Where are you running the server? The client has to specify the IP address it wants to connect to.

The server is on the windows machine detailed here, connected by ethernet. It’s the same machine that is plugged into the pynq, via ethernet, directly.
