Hello friends, I Have just started going through ethernet.my doubt is what is the main functionality of Ethernet MAC??? In switch controller implementation on FPGA does 4 tranceivers require 4 Ethernet MAC's???if so why??Because the source and the destination systems will have ethernet controller and MAC built in???please answer these questions.It's haunting me. Thanks. Regards, Hema.

Hello everyone, I am trying to implement ethernet MAC on a fpga using vhdl. I have a transmit module which generates the ethernet frame and transmits to the PC through the ethernet cable. The ethernet frame consists of preamble, sfd, destination(MAC), source(MAC), length,data,crc. I am using ethereal to detect this frame I definitely think that my crc is right. But i am not able to de...

Im a beginer in VHDL and i got some problems regarding Ethernet usage on XST 3.0 Board. I want to send audio trought ethernet to a second XST 3.0 but i have a lot of problems regarding Ethernet interface initialization - I'm not able to sent anything. I will meke some package processing later on but now I cannot even send one frame. Maybe you got some examples of ethernet intercace usage for ...

Hi all, I want to implement ethernet but I have no exprience about ethernet. Can you please recommend some thing. I can use precessor (M16C) or FPGA. I haven't got FPGA development board yet and maybe i can't buy because i have money problem. I think if I use FPGA I don't need ethernet controller If I can write it :). I have try some projects like as uart, I2C on the Nuhorizons CR2 Developme...

hello, I am trying to interface between my pc (windows) and a Xilinx Virtex2Pro board using ethernet. i am told i require Xilinx PLB Ethernet MAC ip core. i must admit i am very new to such work, forgive my blatantness.... i would like to know: 1) What exactly do i get in the Xilinx Ethernet MAC ip core? (design files etc?) 2) Using XPS (EDK 9.1) and ISE 9.1, how do i integrate it int...

Hi All, I have a embedded desig where I communicate with two boards via Fast ethernet. The design is very simple, the packets are generated from a fpga and sent to the ethernet phy on MII. In the new design I'd like to replace the ethernet phy with a VSDL2 chipset, so I need only one twisted pair and for supporting more than 100 m. Has anybody did something similar? IMO it should be very ...

Hy guys, I'm currently working on a 10/100 ETHERNET mac implementation in an FPGA (using vhdl). in order to simulate my state machine I need to feed a real ETHERNET packet to it (in order to see if the crc check is exeuted correctly etc.). I will realy appreciate to get a complete ETHERNET packet (all bytes from PREAMBLE to FCS) so I could insert it to my modelsim simulation. the format I'...

Hi, Im working on communication for the Virtex 5 using Ethernet. As a good start, do you have any ideas/examples program which use Virtex5? I have tried browsing on the internet, but there are not much about Ethernet Virtex5 example codes. I would be very happy if somebody can guide to show a simple program to communicate using Ethernet-Virtex5. Cheers ------------------------...

Hi, As part of a project my partner and I are required to use the APEX board and the NIOS Ethernet Development Kit for internet communication. We need an indepth understanding of the software code needed to program the ethernet board, e.g. initiallizing, sending, etc. however the manual and online resources don't have alot of information. Is there anyone who has used the ethernet adapt...

Hello ALL, I am designing device, based on Virtex-4 FX20 chip. This device is going to produce lots of data and I would like to send it to processing computer using Gigabit Ethernet interface. I am lucky to have two Ethernet MAC's built-in in the FPGA. Also we would like to use RocketIO transceivers to connect our Ethernet MAC's to physical media. Here is my problem begins. I need to conne...

Hello everyone, I am sending an ethernet packet(64 bytes) from the fpga to the PC in order to test the ETHERNET PHY chip onboard. The interface from the fpga to the ethernet PHY for the data is 4 bits. My PC mac address is 00-01-80-3F-6C-E6 a)So should i send the LSBs first like in this order, 6,E,C,6,F,3,0,8,1,0,0,0 or the MSBs first b) I have installed ethereal software...

I don't know that my fpga is capable (spartan 3e 100k), but I thought I might like to try to do ethernet first. I remember finding a tutorial weeks ago but forgot to bookmark it, where the instructions had you hook up two io pins directly to an ethernet cable, and you could hardcode an IP address into the chip and ping it. Does anyone know of any like this, or even of the one I speak? (Might ...

Hello, I need to snooping the ethernet data so that corresponding data is send to corresponding link. I mean one input and two output link (Ethernet). So only way to implement is to buffer the whole ethernet packet and look for the VLAN address and send it to the corresponding path?Is there any other way ? This all need to be implemented in FPGA. Any help will be great appreciated. Thanks...

Hi all I want to transfer the data feom the kit to the PC using the 10/100 ethernet. Can any one tell me how it can be done and what are the things required for that? how to configure that. I have an ethernet lite IP core supplied by the Xilinx. If any one has some sample regarding that It would be highly appriciated. thanks in advance. regards Ashish

Hi folks, I would like to ask you for recomandation of the ethernet development kit with FPGA (much preferably Xilinx's one). Our requirements are the low power, as big FPGA as possible and at least 3 ethernet ports at 1Gbps. I am not sure it there is currently such kit being distributed, because I was not able to find it by google. Please, could you send information about kits, that ...

Hello, Recently I bought an Ethernet Module from your web-site. I have used the recommended vhdl file (dpimref.vhd) to test this Ethernet Module. I placed the code that is used for the leds and buttons in comment because they are not available on the Ethernet Module. When I download this design to a Xilinx Virtex II pro development board and I use the communication software from you ...

Hello Everyone again, This topic is troubling me for couple of weeks now. I want to get over this as quickly as possible. I am trying to transmit data from the virtex 4 LX fpga board to the PC using ethernet PHY and i am unable to detect any data on the PC. I have written a small state machine using vhdl which actually transmits the ethernet packet( dest MAC, Source MAC, le...

hi i hvea a question about implementing a microblaze with ethernet. i'm using a spartan 3e 500 an edk8.2. i created a new project with a microblaze, an ethernet core, sdram, timer debug module an uart. in the ethernet datasheet it says that in order to be able to use 100MBit the obp bus hast to run at least with 65 MHz. my problem now is the the design wont synthesize with more than 59 MHz...

I have a couple of Altera dev boards - a Terasic DE2, and an old Stratix "SmartPack"; and I really want to play with an Ethernet MAC core. The trouble is, the DE2 has a full-blown Ethernet controller - and the SmartPack has nothing. I'm essentially looking for a board that has MII/GMII on one side, and an RJ-45 connector on the other. These exist, but cost hundreds of dollars. (the EVB-LAN...
