Triple-Speed Ethernet - Verilog TX/RX example

[vmetodiev]

Dear Community,

Recently I have been struggling  to find a real-world Verilog example for (single) frame Ethernet TX/RX. I have successfully imported and synthesized the Triple-Speed Ethernet IP core on the Cyclone 10 LP kit. However, this where I got stuck. The IP core documentation confuses me, since it suggests using several TCL scripts that I am trying to avoid - it is not clear to me how they utilise the generated Top.v module at all.

May anyone help me with a simple example to transmit/receive a single Ethernet frame via Verilog code with the generated IP core? I need a completely bare-metal, processor-less and Avalon-less functionality. Just a simple "transceiver", maybe with a minimalistic FSM only.

Thank you in advance!

Hi Varban,

There are few simple option available in Intel website for Verilog Design Example. You may refer to it.

Kindly do let me know if you needed further support.

Hi @paveetirrasrie_Intel ,

Thank you for your response, but the provided examples will be not sufficient in the context of an Ethernet transaction with the Triple-Speed IP Core. 

Kindly do let me know if you needed further support.

--> So... my answer is: yes, I will need further support, if possible!

Hi,

Good day to you.

I believe you're working with Cyclone 10 devkit with TSE IP. We do have a reference design for TSE IP. Link provided below.

Kindly do let me know if you've tried this.

Hi Pavee,

Yes, exactly, my question is based on the TSE IP and the official example for the Cyclone 10 LP that you have mentioned.

I am able to compile the IP, flash the FPGA over the USB-to-JTAG and run all of the TCL tests from the System Console.

However, I do not want TCL and Avalon-ST. 

I need simple Verilog examples on top of the TSE IP, with send/receive FSM funcionality.

Hi Varban,

Thanks for confirming. Unfortunately, we don't have example design based on your requirement.

I believe you can refer to UG below. It has prompt explanation on State machine Verilog.
