Ethernet GMII to RMII converter ip

[snehal_p]

Hello,

Ethernet RMII Interface on the cyclone V board is connected through FPGA IO, to use one of the HPS EMACs we need GMII to RMII converter ip.

Can anyone help with the Ethernet IP to convert GMII to RMII.

Thanks,

Hi snehal_p,

Although the HPS EMAC supports RGMII(dedicated hps part pin), you can try route the EMAC to the FPGA in order to re-use the HPS I/O for other peripherals. When the EMAC is routed into the FPGA it is exposed as a MII/GMII interface. So when the EMAC is routed into FPGA, it support GMII interface.

Hello Zi Ying,

Thanks for the response.

On cyclone V board we have Ethernet RMII interface through FPGA IO.

 As when the EMAC is routed into the FPGA it is exposed as a MII/GMII interface. So when the EMAC is routed into FPGA, it support GMII interface. Can you suggest GMII to RMII converter ip.

Hi,

Just wonder that are you plan to use RGMII with Triple Speed Ethernet IP?

Hi,

With triple speed ethernet ip can I use RMII.

Obviously RMII is restricted to 10/100 Mbps. I presume that's what you want.

Hi snehal_p,

You may try with the HPS GMII to RGMII Converter IP.

The IP is removed on all Quartus Pro version 17.1 onward but you can use the IP in Quartus standard version because the Standard version is to be used by Cyclone V and supported devices.
