How can I get data from Altera Triple Speed Ethernet (TSE) MAC through Avalon bus?

Hi..

can anyone tell me whether TSE MAC supports TCP/IP..?

regards..

I know the simple answer will be use NisoII...

But in my situation is ..I cannot use NisoII or any other soft/hard

core processor (actually is..I am not able to use any asm/c ..whatever

computer programing language).

I would want to know anyone try to build a FSM to "talk" with the

Avalon bus before?

What should I do/understand first for build a FSM to work as Master in

Avalon bus?

My project require to receive packet and put them into memory and then

I have another logic to read from the memory.

The data flow is that

Ethernet --> PHY(chip) --> TSE MAC IP --> Avalon bus --> memory --

>DDR2 controller ->DDR2 memory.

What I have now:

1. PCI Express Development Kit, Stratix II GX Edition (http://

www.altera.com/products/devkits/altera/kit-pciexpress_s2gx.html (http://www.altera.com/products/devkits/altera/kit-pciexpress_s2gx.html))

2. DDR2 controller demo (non Avalon Bus), (it is work on the PCI

Express Development Kit)

3. TSE MAC IP (I did not try it..because all the demo are using

NiosII)
