Ethernet Hardware Co-Simulation
Known Issues
If you encounter problems transmitting data over a point-to-point Ethernet
connection or experience instability issues, please disable the Hyper-Threading
option in the BIOS on an Intel board.
IP fragmentation is not supported by the network-based Ethernet configuration.
Please consult with your network administrator or the user manual for the Ethernet
interface card to ensure that the connection established between the host and the
target FPGA board can handle a maximum transmission unit (MTU) size of at least
1300 bytes without fragmentation. The MTU size (or similarly maximum frame size
setting such as “maximum transfer size” or “jumbo frame size”) may be determined
or changed through the Ethernet interface settings.
Network-Based Ethernet Hardware Co-Simulation
Interface Features
The interface supports operations in 10/100/1000 Mbps half/full duplex modes. For
FPGA device configuration, the interface supports Ethernet-based configuration over the
same network connection for co-simulation. This means that a separate programming
cable (e.g., Parallel Cable IV) is not required.
Note:
This co-simulation interface utilizes an evaluation version of the Ethernet MAC core. Because
this is an evaluation version of the core, it will become dysfunctional after continuous, prolonged
operation (e.g., around 7 hours) in the target FPGA. Operation of the core will restart with a new
simulation. For more information about obtaining the full version of the core, please visit the product
page at http://www.xilinx.com/xlnx/xebiz/designResources/ip_product_details.jsp?key=TEMAC
.
Supported FPGA Development Boards
The Xilinx ML402 and ML506 development board is currently supported for the network-
based Ethernet co-simulation.
Setup Procedures
1. Network-based Ethernet co-simulation performs device configuration over the
network configuration. Before using network configuration, you must ensure the IP
address, MAC address, and configuration server are properly setup on the System
ACE™ CompactFlash. Refer to the topic Optional Step to Set the Ethernet MAC
Address and the IPv4 Address for information on how to do this.
2. The target FPGA listens on the UDP port 9999. Please ensure the underlying network
does not block the associated traffic.
Known Issues
IP fragmentation is not supported by the network-based Ethernet configuration.
Please consult with your network administrator or the user manual for the Ethernet
interface card to ensure that the connection established between the host and the
target FPGA board can handle a maximum transmission unit (MTU) size of at least
1300 bytes without fragmentation. The MTU size (or similarly maximum frame size
setting such as “maximum transfer size” or “jumbo frame size”) may be determined
or changed through the Ethernet interface settings.
