ethernet EMAC cores available for Microblaze

Started by kurapati July 18, 2005

Xilinx offers different IP cores for ethernet. like opb_ethernet
plb_ethernet, plb_temac, plb_gemac, ll_temac, ll_gemac, etc.

Which of those IPs can be used to have a gigabit MAC using Microblaz
processor.

Recently EDK servicepack 3 has been released and there is a plb_tema
but I could not find the posibilty to use it with microblaz
processor.

And there is a 1-Gigabit MAC available and was used in GSRD design bu
its also for PowerPC processor.

I want to have gigabit ethernet to be used with microblaze either wit
 hard/soft TEMAC or with gigabit soft core. Where can find th
performance differnces between these two.

The distinction between microblaze and powerPC use for different EMA
cores is really appreciated
