hello
i am using a virtex 2 pro board to implement a communication system, and want to interface it with my pc (Matlab) via rthernet. for this purpose, i have acquired a Xilinx Ethernet MAC ip core (OPB). i am new to this kind of work, and donot know how to use the core. please tell me, in as simple a way as possible, :
1) what do i get as part of the core? (the hardware descri[tion fi;es like hdl codes? software drivers to use with an embedded processor?)2) using Xilinx XPS, how do i use it in my system? (add the core to project? add as peripheral?)
3) am i required to do any coding to implement this MAC or is everything available as part of the core?please reply as soon as possible, and, for my benefit, please keep it simple.
thanks in advance
vikram
