15 years agoTSE MAC IP without NIOS II
I am using TSE MAC IP in 10/100 Mbps Small MAC mode to interface DP83849IVS PHY. Due to a design change in our system, I am forced to remove the NIOS II CPU associated with it and the system side interface of this IP has to be controlled by a coldfire processor software external to this FPGA through some parallel interface.
- Is there any other IP through which I can interface DP83849IVS PHY from National without using the NIOS II CPU in Cyclone III (ep3c40)???
- If I have to use the same TSE MAC IP using mega wizard, should the DMA controller be in coldfire processor or in Altera FPGA.
- Is there any Avalon ST and Avalon MM interfaces available for this design.
