Is there a way to route the onboard ethernet into the fpga, ie the 12 MIO pins? (xc7z020-1clg484)

maw41,
A blog post just for you!

Hope that answers your question!
Actually after looking at it that's not quite what I want to do. We have a GigE PHY connected to the MIO pins, but instead of connecting it to the micro's MAC, we want to route the signals to the fabric, and implement a custom MAC there. So is there a way to route the MIO pins to the EMIO pins (bypassing the PS) ?

We are also interested in routing wires from PHY to PL and implement our MAC.
ZynqGeek, you as usual did a great job, but it's not clear how to config MAC if we route signals from it to PL. Because I do not see an config vectors inputs or config interface to Zynq's embedded MAC.
Thanks!

Max, Did you ever get a response? I'm trying to do the same thing, to build a simple Ethernet module that can drop packets we dont want to pass to the PS.
Thanks,

Unfortunately, this is not possible. To use ZedBoard for this, you'd need to look for an FMC with an Ethernet PHY on it. You cannot connect PL to MIO pins.
