Hi,


Please refer the below link for the ethernet IP support on Cyclone V SX device.

Find Intel® FPGA Intellectual Property (IP) Cores


This link shows the support for ethernet IP 1G and 10G on Cyclone V but not the 2.5G ethernet IP.

    Hi Tiwari,

    Thank you for your reply,

    I instantiated a Native PHY IP within the Cyclone V SX and used the IP Library to set GIGE-2.5Gbps. I can see that the IP sets the Data rate to 3125Mbps on the PMA configuration page (as shown in the image). Doesn't this indicate that the Cyclone V SX is capable of 2.5Gbps Ethernet?

    Thank you very much.
