Tripple Speed Ethernet (tse) Avalon-ST interface format

I am using the tse in small mac mode for a fixed 100M only connection. The project is in Quartus 16. I am a bit confused as to how the avalon-ST interface works. I have read the avalon-ST user gui...

Hi,


You are using unique way with EOP to chop of the packet instead of using mask bit or 8 bits transfer (not 32 bits). So, yup, it's recommended for you to test it out in simulation better.


For the Ethernet packet length control,

  • Min length is 64 bytes (if enabled padding and actual packet transfer is less than 64 bytes, then TSE MAC will insert padding bytes)
  • Max length is 1500


Thanks.


Regards,

dlim

Hi,

I do not want to do this in a unique way. I am asking which is the correct way. I am happy to use either method.

I am using the small MAC, so I have to use 32bits.....because 8 bits is not supported.....(or have I misread the User Guide?)

regards

Konrad
