Cyclone V SX transceiver ethernet

Question

Hi,

I'm looking to possibly implement 1000BASE-KX using the TSE IP and the GXB transceivers. Am I able to route the transceivers directly to the backplane connections or do I require additional phy capabilities to do so outside of the Cyclone V?

Thank you.

HI,Cyclone V FPGA transceiver channel doesn't support backplane. So, you won't find any Ethernet IP targeting backplane support for Cyclone V FPGA.For backplane support, it's mainly for more high end FPGA like Arria 10.I can see that Arria 10 do provide backplane support but it's targeting 10GBASE-KR, not 1000BASE-KX. Intel FPGA Ethernet IP list can be found in below linkhttps://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/support-resources/support-centers/ethernet-support.htmlI am sorry but it seems like we don't have Ethernet IP solution support for 1000BASE-KX. Even Triple Speed Ethernet (TSE) IP for high end FPGA is not designed to support backplane as well Regards,Deshi
