Ethernet IP core

--- Quote Start ---

Dose anybody knows if it possible to implement Ethernet communication (10/100 MHz) on FPGA (lets say Cyclone 3…)?

--- Quote End ---

Yes.

--- Quote Start ---

Is there any Altera proven VHDL IP core for that? (I don’t what to write the TCP IP/ UDP code- I only need the interface with the Ethernet).

--- Quote End ---

Yes. Triple Speed Ethernet MAC.

--- Quote Start ---

Is there any Evaluation board that recommended for that purpose?

--- Quote End ---

Any Altera development kit with Ethernet.

check this, it could be helpful for you

oh!. I'm also doing a thesis about this topic. I'm trying interface between Cyclone III's Ethernet and PC through a cable. I can help me if you will show your code and i can see it.

And i'm also see a problem about it. I dont know how to set up IP for Cyclone III's Ethernet.

and this is my code:

"module altera_eth_addr_swapper (

I found out a document for your problem. Look at at "network_utilities.h" it defined IP_address.

Good luck!

In VHDL language, To define an IP_address is really very difficult. But instead of you must have written by C language as I've already said for you.

best wishes!
