Hi,
I am trying to design and implement an interface or application that
will allow me to send data to the host PC through Ethernet cable. For
this purpose, I am using the P-160 communications module-3 that
includes a SMSC 91C11 Ethernet controller.
The sample design that came with Avnet design does not compile and
synthesize for EDK 7.1. I know that the PowerPC is a good option for
interfacing to the Ethernet controller, but I am not aware of the steps
to do so on my own. I am more familiar with the ISE design flow and
would prefer such an implementation.

Can someone who has designed or implemented such type of interface help
me or suggest some pointers??
Thanks,
Vivek

Thanks for all the pointers. I have a couple of questions/doubts:
The Verilog implementation for the Ethernet connection is too good.
However, what is the standard practice?? I have two options:
1. Implement the Ethernet module(fpgas4fun) and connect it as another
I/O module to my design block and send the data to the buffers which in
turn will be transmitted over the ethernet to the host PC.
2. Use the PowerPC which will send the data to the host PC through the
ethernet module. This means tweaking the web server design that comes
with the P160 comm3 module and then instantiating the system.xmp as a
VHDL module in ISE. I presume that the module would have a valid 8-bit
port that will accept the data from my design block and transmit it
over the ethernet to the host PC.

I would like to know which option is better. Has anyone done it this
way. Any suggestions??

Thanks,
Vivek

Asfair, 10Base-T use 3.3V..

Hi all,
I am using a Xilinx V2Pro7 FF672 board. I want to send some data values
using an ethernet card.(no Power PC, only logic fabric)
Can someone suggest where to start from?? 
Thanks,
Vivek
