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

GRSCRUB: FPGA Configuration Supervisor

The GRSCRUB is an external Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) configuration supervisor developed by Cobham Gaisler as an Intellectual Property (IP) core. The GRSCRUB IP features different capabilities, such as programming and scrubbing, which prevents the accumulation of errors in the configuration memory of SRAM-based FPGAs.

Enhancing Ethernet Security with MACsec

Ethernet was originally designed for high-speed data transfer and interoperability between devices. However, traditional Ethernet does not provide built-in mechanisms for securing data traffic, such as encryption or authenticity protection. This is where MACsec comes into the picture.

What Makes Ethernet IP Truly Automotive-Grade

This blog examines what separates truly automotive-grade Ethernet IP from generic implementations across functional safety, time-sensitive networking, security, observability, lifecycle management, and the integration disciplines that only become visible once a program is deep into development.
