10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) with AMBA host interface

The GRETH_GBIT core implements a 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) with AMBA host interface.

Overview

The GRETH_GBIT core implements a 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) with AMBA host interface. Receive and transmit data is autonomously transferred between the Ethernet MAC and the AMBA AHB bus using DMA transfers.

 

Key features

  • AMBA AHB back end with DMA
  • Support for Scatter/Gather DMA
  • Checksum offloading in hardware for TCP/IP/UDP for both receiver and transmitter
  • Descriptor based autonomous multi-packet transfer
  • Portable
