Hi...
i'll write my bachelor thesis about the implementation of ethernet and possible tcp/ip layers in an fpga. does someone have experience doing it? especially using open source ip cores like the ethernet MAC core from opencores.org? would be nice if someone could share their experience. another point is the implementation of tcp/ip. does it make sense to do it all in hardware or is it simpler to run a processor core on the fpga and then implement the tcp/ip layers using a highlevel language like C? i gotta stress that the aim is initially to build an runnable ethernet core and then implement the data transfer step by step
TIA
Stefan
