    i still have fresh memories of frankensteining the frame parser of https://github.com/yol/ethernet_mac into the xilinx trimac core, because i couldn't diagnose an error in the closed source IP core easily.

  • Questions on sending Ethernet traffic from an ECP5 Versa board, and what I have tried so far
    7 projects | /r/FPGA | 22 Aug 2022
    Hungry for more bandwidth (I will need several Mb/s at least for my full-scale setup), I have been looking into using ethernet to get my bits across faster. The plan is to put together a simple UDP stack that can spit out packets to the laptop, with no need to receive any traffic back on the FPGA board. The network link will be direct, using a CAT5E patch cable (no switch), and always connecting with the same remote computer so the IP and MAC addresses can be kept fixed. I have found several spots that have full MAC + PHY cores that should do the job: LiteEth, the Verilog Ethernet cores by Alex Forencich, and a few other projects that do not have much documentation.

    You can get some hints from LiteEth’s vendor-free ECP5 RGMII PHY: https://github.com/enjoy-digital/liteeth/blob/master/liteeth/phy/ecp5rgmii.py
