The one I use is Instant SoC. I use it in almost all my projects. I'm using Xilinx Artix and work in Windows (Vivado).
It is very easy to use. Typically I have a couple of these in a project. You need to run it from VSCode which I found to be a very good editor.
FPGA Cores has cores supporting Ethernet and TCP. I guess you could use the GMII_INT versions.
These cores are free to download. However I have never used them on Kintex only Artix and Spartan.
Notepad ++ is a very good editor. NP++ has been my favorite editor for years.
I use Visual Studio Code more and more and today that is my favorite editor. VSCode is getting better very fast and there are a lot of plugins.
One reason I start using VSCode is that I use Instant-SoC to generate VHDL...
Hi @FlyingDutch,
I have tried Instant SoC on several boards, mostly with Xilinx Artix and then build it with Vivado. E.g. I have used it on Arty A7, Nexys DDR.
On these it works really great. Very fast and easy to work with.
I have also used it a lot on the board we have designed. No problems.
If you want to do it very fast you can use Instant SoC.
You simply write a few lines of C++ code and the tool generates the VHDL code.
There are ready UART classes etc.
Here you can see an example using UART.
Hi,
In practice: In general Virtex has more resources and the boards are equipped with more connectivity and if you are going to do image processing more internal BRAMs can be useful.
You can do both Image processing and voice encryption with both.
However I really think you should consider...
I use the logic analyzer from FPGA Cores. It is free to download and use.
I have used it on a Spartan6 tqfp however I think you will need a LX9 to fit all ethernet stuff and some room for your stuff.
You can also use the LA in an Artyboard or something like that and wire it to your board. You...
Hi Ken,
are you going to connect your CPU with FPGA dev board like Artyboard or are you going to design a custom board with CPU and FPGA on the same board?
Hi Kumar,
Is serial Gigabit Ethernet a requirement? (I assume you referring to SGMII interface)
Or is it ok to use other interfaces like RGMII or GMII or even 100Mbit RMII/MII?
Is it real-time voices or recorded voices?
When I read what you are going to do I should have used an Ethernet core...
Hi Vlad,
the AXI4 Stream transfer takes place when both ready and valid is '1'. In this case you look at valid and set ready to '1' and increase the counter.
However the sender waits for ready = '1' before it change data.
So you will read the first byte twice.
I suggest in this case that you...
Hi Vlad,
Answer to 2.
No, you should use the same clock as you are clocking the Ethernet core. The AXI4 Stream interface to the core uses that clock.
Cheers
Hi Amin,
are you designing your own hardware or do you want to do it with an existing board?
What FPGA? GTPs?
Is saving data on a PC considered as non-volatile?
What safety (missing samples ) is the requirements?
I have done similar with different methods:
* FPGA board with PCIe transferring...
