General Description

Ethernet Gigabit Media Independent Interface (GMII) to Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface (RGMII) core provides the RGMII between RGMII-compliant Ethernet physical media devices (PHY) the Gigabit Ethernet MAC controller (MAC).


So-Logic's Ethernet GMII2RGMII core implements bridge between GMII to RGMII interfaces, defined in the IEEE Std. 802.3-2008 specification.


This core can be used in all three modes of operation (10/100/1000 Mb/s). This core can switch dynamically between the three different speed modes.


The so_ip_eth_gmii2rgmii 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 Ethernet GMII2RGMII core please consult the corresponding datasheet.
