Query regarding Project.Plz help very urgent

Hi,

I m doing a project on "IEEE 802.3 Packet generator on FPGA".The
details of my project are as follows
There are two swithes on the FPGA to input 4 different lengths of data
between 0 to 1500bytes.if a particular input is set, for eg
60bytes,then the controller should generate data of 60 bytes.so, i
need to design a generalised controller that will accept data of 4
different lengths and generate the data depending on that length.i
have to write a code in vhdl.Plz help me to design the controller

I m not getting data from any source.i have to generate random
data.Its something like i m developing a smart bits generator on
FPGA.I have to generate the data in IEEE 802.3 format.So, the
controller which is to b designed has to send the control and timing
signals to activate the different fields in the frame format.Different
fields in the sense first preamble should come which should b of
7bytes.Then start of frame delimiter and so on.

But one thing i want to know is whether i need to design a random
number generator for generating data or there is any other method to
generate rendom data.And after generating the data,do i need to store
that in a memory and then transmit?Do i need to generate the preamble
also? Please give me guidelines for finalising the designs

Is the spec what i have got is enough?? If not,then what else is
required? it might b a silly question.I m a fresher so i dont have an
idea of whatelse is required.plz help me.

Plz help me in this regard. Plz Its very urgent

Thanks

I wouldn't be too hopeful of getting any data with this type of posting 
either!

But wait, perhaps you could generate random data from the content of 
homework questions posted on usenet. The sheer cheek of students asking 
folks to do their work for them for free implies a randomness of thought 
which should be reflected in their postings. Also, their spolling and 
caPITaliSation is atroshus, which should plz your rendom nuber generator.

p.s. For anyone who's interested in a proper random number generator, a 
search for

random webcam smoke alarm

gives interesting results.

I was sure you were just joking, but that *is* fairly interesting!

Alan,

A bit on the slow side, but it sure is random!

just get a stronger americium source :p

is it just me or is usenet getting full of asian sounding names with
gmail accounts asking for complete solutions to problems they have
hardly tried to understand themselfs ?

Lasse,

As far as I am concerned, the questions come from students of
engineering who will someday soon be designing with FPGAs.  I would hope
they consider Xilinx when they make their choice of vendors.

Not just that. More often, we'r seeing images in media of asian-
looking chap staring at a PCB or something in indication of "cutting-
edge" intelligence to which everybody should aspire. Even empolyers
are becoming more inclined to believe in you provided that you possess
"certain" attributes.

Cheers,

See the reference design and testbench here
http://home.comcast.net/~mike_treseler/
for some related examples.

You will have to learn vhdl simulation.
It sounds to me like you are in water over your head.
Consider dropping the class.

This is not the way to answer questions.

This is not the way to ask question. Tell us
- more about your problem
- what you already did yourself
- where you met problems

then somebody might be willing to help you. The readers of this group are
not required  to help you. Mostly the will help, if they find the problem
interesting and the poster doing most of his homework himself.

B.t.w. where did you struggle with a google/altavista/.. search for some/all
of the words FPGA Random HDL VHDL verilog?
