10G Ethernet IP on Cyclone 10 GX with IEEE 1588 support - Ordering Guide

I would like to integrate a 10G MAC + 10G PHY with support for IEEE 1588.

For the PHY, the IP to be purchased seams to be IP-10GMRPHY. Is it correct?

For the MAC:

Question 1: Do I need to purchase both IP-10GEUMAC and IP-10GEUMACF or is IP-10GEUMAC integrated into IP-10GEUMACF license?

Question 2: When I compile my design in evaluation mode I get "Evaluation Mode" messages for 3 IPs:

IP-10GMRPHY
IP-10GETHMACF
Low Latency Ethernet 10G MAC

Which IP block is integrated in which license?


Thanks for support!

  • Hi,


    Sorry for confusion. May check this link https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/fpga/intellectual-property/interface-protocols.html


    Question 1: Do I need to purchase both IP-10GEUMAC and IP-10GEUMACF or is IP-10GEUMAC integrated into IP-10GEUMACF license?

    IP-10GEUMAC is Low Latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet MAC

    IP-10GEUMACF is Low Latency 10 Gbps Ethernet MAC with 1588 option

    Seems like you want to integrate a 10G MAC + 10G PHY with support for IEEE 1588, I think you need to purchase only IP-10GEUMACF


    Question 2: When I compile my design in evaluation mode I get "Evaluation Mode" messages for 3 IPs:

    IP-10GMRPHY - 1G / 2.5G / 5G / 10G Multi-Rate Ethernet PHY

    IP-10GETHMACF - 10Gbps Ethernet MAC with 1588

    Low Latency Ethernet 10G MAC - IP-10GEUMAC

    Hi,

    Yes, you're correct.


    For the MAC:

    Question 1: Do I need to purchase both IP-10GEUMAC and IP-10GEUMACF or is IP-10GEUMAC integrated into IP-10GEUMACF license?

    For Cyclone 10 GX, you just need IP-10GEUMAC. IP-10GEUMACF is for F-Tile Low Latency Ethernet 10G MAC Intel® FPGA IP for the Agilex™ 7 (F-Tile) devices


    Question 2: When I compile my design in evaluation mode I get "Evaluation Mode" messages for 3 IPs:

    IP-10GMRPHY - 10Gb Ethernet PHY Intel® FPGA IP

    IP-10GETHMACF - F-Tile Low Latency Ethernet 10G MAC Intel® FPGA IP

    Low Latency Ethernet 10G MAC - Low Latency Ethernet 10G MAC Intel® FPGA IP


    Thanks,

    Regards,

    Sheng

    Hi,

    I don't understand your answer related to the F-Tile for Agilex. I'm compiling the MAC with IEEE 1588 for Cyclone 10 and I get a licensing message concerning the IP-10GETHMACF, so it's mandatory for this feature on Cyclone 10?

    Regards,
