Could you please tell me if FPGA can drive DM9000 directly (Not in NIOS).  

can Triple Speed Ethernet only used in NIOS? 

Could you give me some hints? 

Thanks very much!

Additionly, I just use FPGA to transmit data and the http,ftp stacks are not needed.

At least a raw IP or possibly an UTP stack would be implemented for "direct" ethernet transmission, I think. The FPGA surely can, the question is, if you are able to code it. 

 

If I remember right, some commercial IP offers a native ethernet option, without using an embedded processor. But basically, you shouöd be able to code it from the scratch or using parts of the existing IP.

Thanks! 

You mean I can "directly" ethernet transmission:use IP head +UDP head + original data? 

I want to use Triple Speed Ethernet, but I find Triple Speed Ethernet can only used in NIOS.

Perhaps you could be interested in the ALSE GEDEK IP which is quite attractive for UDP only :

I have bad knowledge of the IP so I'm not sure the DM9000 is supported.

I am trying the exact same thing, I would like to receive UDP data from one PC. 

 

Do you have any working code I could borrow from you? 

 

Thnx,
