Honored ContributorI want to bring the low latency PHY to a project in Qsys. HOwever it seems that none of the protocol-specific nor any of the native PHYs are available in the Qsys IP catalog.
What would be the best line of action in this case?
Honored ContributorCreate you own Qsys wrappers for them - if you have the HDL already, all it takes is a TCL file which can in its simplest form be generated by creating a new component graphically in Qsys.
For the higher level stuff, if they don't use standard interfaces (e.g. Avalon-ST, Avalon-MM, etc.) you will need to write wrapper cores (basically HDL that instantiates the other core and converts the interfaces to a standard type which may require some effort depending on the design).Honored ContributorHonored ContributorGod bless you and your descendants. This was truly helpful, Dave.
Honored ContributorGod dammit Altera, even the 10GBASE-R is also hidden. It's explicitly as "HIDE_FROM_QSYS = true". WTF with a package we pay thousands for? Is there any official reason for this?
BTW is there a design with 10GBASE-R + Low Latency MAC somewhere? I could not find anywhere in the Wiki pages...Honored Contributor
