Ethernet communication between FPGAs

Hi everyone, I'm working on a project where I have two boards (One Master and one Slave), and I need to realise an Ethernet communication between those two. Both the boards uses a Cyclone V F...

Hi,

Thanks for the reply it helped !

I also wanted to know if I can link my two Megafunction like said in the datasheet (picture below). Knowing that I just have to send two signals between my FPGAs, a LED Status and a clock, I think this architecture would be enough, but I'm not sure at all as once my function is generated I have 50 I/O port, which is a lot.

The main problems i'm dealing with are the following :

- I have no idea in the Megafunction to which ports I have to connect the signals I want to send and receive from one FPGA to another ...

- And also how do I make the Megafunction recognize the Ethernet ports I want to use ? As on my master I have 13 and 2 on my slave ?

- Do I need to do a structural file of my design ?

Thanks for the help,

Cordially.
