Chapter 12

System Integration

As described in Chapter 4, “Generating the Core” and Chapter 5, “Core Architecture”, the core can be generated in one of two formats:

“Standard CORE Generator Format”

This option will deliver the core in the standard CORE Generator™ output format, as used by many other cores including previous versions of this core and all other Ethernet LogiCORE™ IP solutions.

When generated in this format, the core is designed to interface to the LogiCORE IP Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC or the LogiCORE IP Embedded Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC wrappers. Refer to “Using the Xilinx LogiCORE IP Tri-Mode Ethernet MACs” section of this chapter.

“EDK pcore Format”

This option will deliver the core in the standard pcore format, suitable for directly importing into the Xilinx Embedded Development Kit (EDK) environment.

When generated in this format, the core is designed to interface to the XPS LocalLink Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC (xps_ll_temac). Refer to “Using the Xilinx XPS LocalLink Tri- Mode Ethernet MAC” section of this chapter.

Using the Xilinx LogiCORE IP Tri-Mode Ethernet MACs

The Ethernet AVB Endpoint core should be generated in the “Standard CORE Generator Format”.

The Ethernet AVB Endpoint core can be connected to the following Ethernet MACs from the CORE Generator LogiCORE IP library:

“LogiCORE IP Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC (Soft Core)”, available for all Spartan®-3,Spartan-3E,Spartan-3A,Spartan-3A DSP, Spartan-6,Virtex®-5 and Virtex-6 devices.

“LogiCORE IP Embedded Tri-Mode Ethernet MACs”, available in selected Virtex-5 and Virtex-6 devices.

Please also refer to individual product documentation.
