EDK 9.1 + Virtex 5 Hard MAC

Jun 11, 2007 1 Replies

Hello All,



I'm learning how to use Xilinx EDK, but am stuck... I figured out how to create a simple Microblaze system which uses the opb_ethernet IP core, but I would like to switch to the hard MAC on the virtex5 fpga. EDK does not have a wrapper for this in it's IP core list, so I used the Xilinx Core Generator to generate it. The problem I am having is importing the core into EDK. This is what I have tried so far:


  1. Import the core using the EDK wizard, Selecting DCR slave bus as my connection [ I can only find two .vhd source files to import]
  2. Add the core to my design.
  3. Add an opb_dcr bridge

Am I on the right track? Any hints?



Thanks

Is there much difference between the V4 and V5 TEMACs? If not, it might be easier to take the hard_temac RTL supplied for the V4 and convert it to use the V5.
