How hard to add 3x gigabit Ethernet ?

Former Member

Is the Ethernet port logic cut and paste and add 3x MAC-PHY?

Does anyone have a feel for the scope of work required to add 3x Ethernet?

Thanks in advance,

    The ZedBoard implements one 10/100/1000 port with an external Marvell PHY and the TE PlanarMAG RJ45.  The 2nd internal MAC could be routed through EMIO.  You would then need to implement the 3rd MAC in PL.

     

    Although I'm not aware of any existing hardware that does this, you could design an FMC module with the 2x Gb Ethernet PHYs/connectors.  EMIO as well as the PL logic MAC could both be interfaced through the LPC-FMC, which has 68 I/Os.
