Has anyone used the Ethernet add-on module for the Digilent Spartan3 board? http://www.digilentinc.com/info/NET1.cfm I want to back into design, and instead of doing the same old uart/SERDES design I did years ago, I wanted to do something more challenging. Thanks, *** Alfredo.
Lean Ethernet on Digilent board?

What I've done is wire a PHY eval board to a digilent SParten IIE board, and use am ethernet-lite core from the edk WITHOUT a softcore processor - i.e. just put a wrapper around the ethernet soft-core and drive the bus signals directly from a processes intimately associated with the data I was trying to communicate. I my I was doing only UDP broadcast of data I acquired within the eval board for consumption by an off-board test computer.
