General Description
So-Logic's 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet MAC Controller core implements MAC sublayer from the IEEE Std. 802.3-2008 specification.
For the interface with the Host processor IP core uses standard AXI4-Stream interface for data transfers and AXI4-Lite interface for the configuration, and for the interface with the PCS layer standard GMII interface.
The so_ip_eth_1G_mac core can be evaluated using Xilinx Evaluation Platforms before actual purchase. This is achieved by using a demonstration bit files for KC705 platform that allows the user to connect the So-Logic's complete 1G Ethernet solution system to some other Ethernet enabled device (PC or some Ethernet tester equipment) and evaluate system performance under different transfer scenarios.
For more information about the 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet MAC Controller core please consult the corresponding datasheet.
