How hard to add 3x gigabit Ethernet ?

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,

Limba is correct that the flow will be to use Xilinx MAC IP within the fabric, with a PHY external, and drivers written to interface with the Linux Kernel to take advantage of the additional MACs.

Hi ,
Not sure if the 2 Gigabit Ethernet Peripherals are free (Hard Core) or does Xilinx require you to purchase a Licence for the 2 TEMACs.

The two Gb Ethernet MACs interface directly to the ARM processor system and are hard core. No license is required to use them.

Hi Fletch,

In my design we are trying to copy the zedboard but we need two ethernet for the application with little more changes in the design.
Could you please tell us whether we can use the MDIO/MDC pins common for both PHY or do we need to use EMIO for second ethernet?

Thanks and regards,
