Honored Contributorhow to do pin assignment with Ethernet IP
HI,everybody.
I am wondering how to do pin assignment with my board , cycone II, using magawizard ethernet IP. I watched the input and output signals after completing the ip core ,so many signals that I can't assign them with pins on board. Some people said that quartus can do such a task , is that reliable? I appreacite any advive.6 Replies

It won't work. The TSE IP can't be interfaced with the LAN91C111 chip.
If you are using SOPC builder there is a component for the LAN chip that you must use instead of the TSE IP. - Altera_Forum
That’s too much help for me. I was wondering how to do pin assigment with LAN91C111 for these days ,and serching for some material but know nothing about it. So ,as you proposed, if TSE(which is a MAC) is created in the form of a ip core, how to do pin assignment with the PHY on board?

If the chip is the LAN91C111 then you can't use the Triple Speed Ethernet IP with it. The TSE is a MAC that needs to be connected to a PHY, while the LAN91C111 is a chip that includes both the MAC and the PHY.

What Ethernet chip do you have on the board and which IP did you use? --- Quote End --- i am not sure, iam the beginner to use Ethernet IP core. The chip in the Cyclone ii EP2C35 belongs to SMSC(MAC+PHY) which only support 10/100BASE. following is the attachment. thanks.
