Hello,

We sure have. You can purchase the OpenCores.org EMAC package from Microtronix. It includes the basic core available from OpenCores.org plus the following features:

- SOPC Builder component that integrates the core into the Altera tool flow

- Reference design for our uKit and the Altera Evaluation Kit

- uClinux driver (there is one with the distribution, but the one with this package will always be up to date)

- Avalon bus interface

Later this week, we will be updating the current CD to include a reference design that combines the Stand Alone LWIP component with the OpenCores.org EMAC, which will allow you to add ethernet without needing an operating system.

The cost for this solution is only $249, and that is all you will ever have to pay - no further licensing or royalty fees. You get the source code, and can recompile the design for your custom project.

you can order the cd here (http://www.microtronix.com/acatalog/software_and_accessories.html).

You might want to wait until the end of the week to get the new update.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Robert
