Hi all, I am new on the world of the FPGA. I have bought the Cyclone IV GX as i wanted to use it as transceiver. I want to make a transmission through the SMA connectors, but i dont know ...

14 years agoThanks, you are helping me a lot!
I am using VHDL, and the name of the FPGA i am using is ECGX15BF14C8. I have made some easy programs for knowing the FPGA and Quartus II. ( I am using the version 12.0) I am actually reading the Cyclone IV handbook, but the thing i didnt know is that for making transmission with SMA connectors it was need a protocol, and i wasnt focus on reading about the PCIe protocol. The thing is that i cant make ethernet transmission, because in Cyclone IV when you enable the SMA conncetors, you disable the ethernet output as they are using the same tracks.
