11 years ago --- Quote Start --- If you aren't using a CPU, you will also have to implement an avalon master to configure the TSE. IIRC after a reset both the tx and rx paths are disabled and need to be enabled through the control register. Depending on your PHY you may also have to read or write a few MDIO registers. It's doable, but both the initializations and part of the protocols you may have to use (ARP, DHCP....) are better handled in software, --- Quote End --- Does it mean you are recommending to use CPU to ease the work :) --- Quote Start --- even if once initialized you only use hardware to generate or process the packets. --- Quote End --- So, it will be somehow similar to "UDP offload example" recommended by ted. Does it fulfill speed requirement (750Mbps+), if I proceed in this way?
