Hi all,



i'm wondering if someone knows if it does exist a cheap virtex4fx based card with at least 2 10/100/1000 ethernet phy onboard



regards Sandro



P.S. cheap I mean < 500-600 USD

good gosh - the OP wanted 2 GBPHy and below 600 !!

the closest could be Avnet LX25 board with 2 AvBus comm modules I got the V4LX25 board for 249USD but I dont know how much the avbus comm module is. I bet the packet deal would be just above

600USD though. Thats why I said NO, eg not available below 600USD

Check out Avnet Virtex-4FX12 Mini Module. It is tiny, has one GB phy and it's $250.

Put two boards together and use one of them as a slave, to stream the phy data to the master module. Only $500 :)

zcsizmadia, I was thinking something like that after the antti's negative answer... But at first glance, such modules seems to be witout power regulators and other... (if You don't connect to the baseboard) I should build one to power (3 different vcc... for virtex ?!?) and connect them... not a so big problem but if I could find a solution available to be used... ;-)

bye Sandro

my NO answer was to __single__ self conatined board with 2 GB PHYs
