hps emac route to FPGA fabric(use Cyclone V SX-5CSXFC6C6U23C7)

Hi ,

I now directly control the function of emac through hps.

So the external PHY is directly connected to the I/O pin of hps, as shown in figure.

 However, the speed of the ethernet is limited to less than 100Mbps due to the large image data to be transmitted.

So I want to replace the function of image transmission through FPGA(and keep ethernet command control in hps), as shown in the figure below.

 And the question I want to ask is:

1.Is there any way to allow FPGA to control the I/O of HPS without changing the PCB layout?

2.If this method can be achieved, will his speed be limited?

Thank you.
