Hello , i want to send data to my ethernet controller on my FPGA(cyclone) board of Altera. What algorithm of sending data via this interface ?? What first steps i need to do in order to accomplish this mission. Maybe someone can advise me some book that can help me in this project. Thanks.
No problem at all ... Of course there is just one single model of FPGA board on the whole world, so it shouldn't be a problem to help you ;-)
Hi Fetz , ia want to specify my problem , I need information of how to do configuration of my ethernet controller on my FPGA board. Hence, how i say to controller that i want to work in full duplex ?? speed ? How configure the Ethernet PHY registers to operate in 10/100/Gigabit Mode ??
Sorry, if you don't get it ... There is more than one board out there and there is more than one ethernet-controller out there and so on and so on ... Nobody will be able to help you if you don't tell us your exact model of your FPGA board ...
More important than the FPGA-type is the used PHY. I use a marvel 88E1111. For this chip the correct reset sequence is important. Second this chips needs a GTX-Clock, which has a phase of 90 degrees. This can be done by a PLL. Altera offers an Ethernet IP-core (Triple Speed Ethernet TSE), which supports also this Phy. I use this core, a self written reset-logic, and can receive data from ethernet. The PHY itself is controlled over the MDIO interface. The TSE maps the phy-registers, that you dont have to access MDIO by yourself.
Hi PittyJ , I also use the same chip , what is it reset-logic ? What the purpose of this logic ? In general , do you know maybe some good book about configuration ethernet controller on FPGA ??
There is no good book. I gathered all information out of several buletin boards (like this here). Marvell has a Technical Data Sheet, but you get it only under a NDA. So I had to work without it. The reset logic is a simple state machine: Wait 10 msec before apply the reset signal. Do the reset signal for at least 10 msec. Wait a longer time, (I used 3 seconds) before accessing the chip. Next step would set up the MDIO registers. This can be done over setting values in the TSE register section. In the Altera TSE-Documentation the registers are described (section 5, Mac configuration register space)
First you have to know what Interface is wired. Marvell Phy can use different types GMII, MII, or RMII or ... Often you can found some information in applocation notes.
