Overview

Enclustra’s UDP/IP Ethernet IP core is optimized for Intel (Altera) and Xilinx FPGAs and easily enables FPGA-based subsystems to communicate with other subsystems via Ethernet, using the UDP protocol. The IP core is highly configurable and optimally implemented for the use in current Intel® and Xilinx® FPGA architectures. It provides a simple to use interface to the user logic, and supports the common media independent interfaces MII, RMII, GMII and RGMII. With its 8-bit wide transmit and receive interfaces running at 125 MHz, the IP core is able to operate at full 1 Gbit/sec wire speed. 100 Mbit/sec and 10 Mbit/sec operation is also supported.

Highlights

  • Operates at full 1Gbit/sec wire speed
  • Complete UDP, IPv4 and Ethernet layer processing
  • Automatic ARP reply generation
  • Header pass-through mode:
    • Selectively override default UDP/IP/ETH header field values with values embedded in the transmit data stream
    • Selectively embed UDP/IP/ETH header field values in the receive data stream for easy delivery to the user application

Benefits

  • Standard UDP communication with FPGA-based systems
  • Full 1 Gbit/sec wire speed can be achieved
  • Low FPGA resource usage

Features

  • 1 Gbit/sec, 100 Mbit/sec and 10 Mbit/sec operation
  • MII, RMII, GMII and RGMII media independent interfaces (full-duplex only)
  • Destination UDP port, destination IP address and destination MAC address filtering
  • UDP checksum calculation and check
  • Ethernet frame check
  • Multiple UDP ports with dedicated receive and transmit interfaces for each port
  • Optional receive data buffers
  • Raw Ethernet port for non-UDP communication
