    A new directory EDK was created in project root. All needed driver and EDF for EDK are available there.

    Description

    10_100_1000 Mbps tri-mode ethernet MAC implements a MAC controller conforming to IEEE 802.3 specification. It is designed using less than 2000 LCs/LEs to implement full function. It will use inferred PADs to reduce technology dependancies. The whole project will be finished in TEN weeks inluding verilog coding,RTL level verification.
    A GUI configuration interface,created by tcl/tk script language,is convenient for configuring optional modules,FiFo depth and verifcation parameters. Furthermore,a verifcation system was designed with tcl/tk user interface,by which the stimulus can be generated automatically and the output packets can be verified with CRC-32 checksum.

    main Features

    Ø Implements the full 802.3 specifiction.
    Ø half-duplex support for 10 100 Mbps mode
    Ø FIFO insterface to user application
    Ø support pause frame generation and termination
    Ø transmitting frames souce MAC address insertion
    Ø receiving frames destination MAC address filter
    Ø receiving broadcast frames throughout constraint
    Ø support Jumbo frame 9.6K
    Ø RMON MIB statistic counter
