Hello Cool Cat!

How did your project go? I am also facing the same problem like you had. I need to connect a cyclone II (DE2 Board) FPGA with FlexRay-Nodes. As far as I know, I need a transceiver in order to connect the Nodes to FPGA. Can anyone help me. One node has to communicate with my FPGA via SPI connection and the others have to communicate with FPGA via a serial bus. The FPGA has to act as Gateway between the FlexRay-Nodes in order to transmit messages from one end to the other. The SPI connection has to send FPGA some controll signals, to tell FPGA if it has to transmit messages or not. Has anyone done such like tasks? Is there maybe any IP-Core that I can use to build my project. PLEASE HELP!

Thank you everyone for your assistance!
