TSE - some questions for understanding...

Hi

1) Is it right, that the TSE generates the whole MAC stuff, like header and so on, so that I have to give the TSE only the MAC payload as input?

Yes. TSE does all this stuff an usual MAC does.

You send to the MAC (or receive from it) the network frame data and the MAC will manage all the coding in order to properly transmitting it on the network.

2) I want to use the TSE WITHOUT iniche. But it seems that the TSE API is only for using iniche, or isn't it?

You certainly can use it without iniche. Have you searched in the forum for help?

Probably you have an Altera sample based on iniche, but this doesn't mean iniche is required. I can't now remember TSE api structure, but I think you can use them without iniche and without an OS. Look into the driver source code: you should find the basic functions for initializing, send and receive.
