HI to all
do you have experience with Altera Nios II Processor and MAC-net core to connect an embedded application requiring high-throughput network connectivity to the network?
Please help me :
1-What is the price of cores, is there any open core for this purpose?
2- I already downloaded the reference design from Altera site. Now I don't know is it sufficient to build a working project or It needs other components.
Please give me your guidelines and recommends.
Thanks
The MAC core (10/100) from Opencores (www.opencores.org) is very famous. I don’t have experiences with it but there are a lot of people who are using the core within a Nios II system. Beside EDAboard there is another forum which I think is more helpful for questions regarding Nios II: www.niosforum.com
I don't believe so - NIOS I And II have a core to communicate with the LAN91C. This isn't a MAC, since like yo usaid, the LAN91C is a MAC+PHY combo. This is more of an avalon bus peripheral so you can talk to it through NIOS.
