Hard-Core TEMAC

The HARD_TEMAC described in this document has been designed incorporating the applicable features described in IEEE Std.

Overview

The HARD_TEMAC described in this document has been designed incorporating the applicable features described in IEEE Std. 802.3-2002. Differences between that specification and the Xilinx HARD_TEMAC implementation are highlighted and explained in the Specification Exceptions section. The HARD_TEMAC is an intellectual property (IP) soft core designed for implementation in a Virtex-4 FX FPGA.

Key features

  • Filtering of “bad” receive frames to reduce processor bus utilization.
  • Hardware selectable DCR or PLB host interface to configuration registers.
  • GMII and MII interfaces to external PHY devices.
  • SGMII supported through MGT interface to external copper PHY layer.
  • Complies with IEEE 802.3-2000 specification.
  • Full duplex operation.
  • Media Independent Interface Management (MIIM) for access to PHY transceiver registers.

Designing with Virtex-5 Embedded Tri-Mode Ethernet MACs

In this article, we’ll review the feature set of Ethernet MAC blocks in Virtex-5 devices. We’ll also describe the differences between Virtex-5 and Virtex-4 FX Ethernet MACs, illustrate some potential applications, and describe how to use standard Xilinx tools to integrate an Ethernet MAC into your design.

Designing FPGA Based Reliable Systems Using Virtex-5 System Monitor

The fast track development and 24x7 operations have put tremendous pressure on the servers, networking systems and communication equipments. It has become necessary that these systems should operate reliably irrespective of the change in external operating environment like the temperature, humidity, and power fluctuations or, on chip conditions like on-chip temperature, internal voltage levels etc. Measuring the reliability of these physical systems is must for every operational unit.
