14 years ago --- Quote Start --- I guess I'd better try to use Tcl script to assign pins. Can you please give me a Verilog example that assign a port to pin 1 of RJ-45 as given schematic below? --- Quote End --- You cannot assign an FPGA pin to the RJ-45, since the FPGA does not have any connections to the RJ-45 - look at the schematic! The FPGA connects to the PHY (Physical Layer chip). The PHY is a Marvel 88E1111 device. Marvel require a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to view the data sheet for this part. The FPGA needs to instantiate a controller to communicate with the ethernet PHY. I believe its called something like the Altera Triple Speed Ethernet (TSE) IP core. Cheers, Dave
