I don't think there is a direct way to increase the default ping timout time through its built-in settings.
A workaround you can achieve by creating a custom ping function that retries the connection multiple times before giving up.
Here's a sample implementation of one such function:
function success = customPing(ipAddress, maxRetries, timeout)
% customPing - Custom ping function with retry logic
%
% ipAddress - The IP address to ping
% maxRetries - Maximum number of retries
% timeout - Timeout for each ping attempt in seconds
success = false;
retryCount = 0;
while retryCount < maxRetries
try
% Attempt to ping the IP address
[status, ~] = system(sprintf('ping -n 1 -w %d %s', timeout * 1000, ipAddress));
if status == 0
success = true;
fprintf('Ping successful on attempt %d\n', retryCount + 1);
return;
else
retryCount = retryCount + 1;
fprintf('Ping failed on attempt %d, retrying...\n', retryCount);
pause(1); % Wait a bit before retrying
end
catch ME
fprintf('Error during ping: %s\n', ME.message);
retryCount = retryCount + 1;
pause(1); % Wait a bit before retrying
end
end
if ~success
fprintf('Failed to ping %s after %d attempts\n', ipAddress, maxRetries);
end
end
You can use the above function before starting your work to ensure the connection is stable:
ipAddress = '192.168.1.100'; % Replace with your FPGA's IP address
maxRetries = 10; % Number of retries
timeout = 5; % Timeout for each ping attempt in seconds
if customPing(ipAddress, maxRetries, timeout)
disp('Connection is stable, starting the experiment...');
% Your code to start the experiment
else
disp('Connection could not be established, aborting the experiment.');
% Handle the failure case
end
Hope it helps!
