Alternative ethernet core and jumbo frames on ZedBoard

Former Member
Former Member over 8 years ago

Hi,

I have a ZedBoard and would like to use the default Ethernet "Jack" (+PHY etc.) which is already on the board. However, I would like to use this jack with one of the alternative Ethernet cores (in PL) rather than the default GEM0 (in PS).

I want to do this because I would like to support Jumbo frames but also offload some work to the PL, which is really tricky to do with the GEM0 since it is so closely tied to the PS.

Is this at all possible? I would imagine I simply need to route the RGMII signals from the Ethernet PHY not into the FPGA PS but into the FPGA PL. How would I do this?  When I use Vivado, by default, these signals get routed into the PS7. I'm relatively new to Vivado.

 

Thanks!

Best,

Jan

    Hello Jan,

    Please take a look at this post inr egards to redirecting peripherals.

    Hi Josh,

    Thanks for the pointer to the article. I think the situation covered in the article does not apply to what I want to do.

    If I understand this article correctly, this method allows me to use the GEM0 from the PS with a different hardware PHY (connected through the PL).

    Instead, what I want to do is to use the hardware PHY connected to the pins which go to the GEM0 by default, with a different IP core in the PL.

    The reason for this is I don't want to design a FMC adapter PCB with an Ethernet PHY (i.e. I need to use the one already on the ZedBoard), but I do want to use a different Ethernet IP (the LL_TEMAC) on the FPGA.

     

    Is this possible?

    Thanks!

    Best regards,

    Hello Jan,

    I also need jumbo frames on the zedboard. Have you found the solution to implement PL Ethernet with the default Ethernet "Jack"?

    Thanks!
    Best,
    Li
