Hi all,
I am working on Project where I will design an FPGA based data process accelerator. For that purpose I need to connect that FPGA (Xilinx V5 - evaluation board) to a PC with Ethernet port.
Now there few problems which needed to be addressed.
1) If I load full UDP/IP stack in FPGA then it occupies too much space, and there remains few space for my accelerator.
2) If I dont use UDP/IP then how will I communicate with a program(planning to write in Python) working on PC.
So, in nutshell, my question is that : is there any way that I only load MAC IP in FPGA and yet Frames formed by it are received by a program running on a PC? In that case how will be address a particular program?
Please note that I know Python and Verilog. Just need little guidance.
