Practical Ethernet System Implementation with FPGA – Gigabit Communication Design Based on TEMAC IP

This course introduces how to design a Gigabit Ethernet communication system using AMD FPGAs and TEMAC IP. In Vivado, we will generate and configure the TEMAC IP, connect it to the Top module, and design a hardware system capable of transmitting and receiving Ethernet frames at 1Gbps speed. We will also learn the basic concepts of the Ethernet protocol, frame structure, and debugging methods (ILA, Wireshark, etc.). We will design the ARP response and UDP transmission RTL and measure performance on a PC.

Ultra-high-speed Ethernet communication circuit designed with FPGA

Today's hardware doesn't work alone.
Ethernet is the de facto standard in industrial settings that require large-capacity, real-time transmission, such as cameras, medical imaging, automation systems, and AI edge devices.

In practice, there are many cases of directly implementing FPGA-based Ethernet communication circuits.
TEMAC IP is the representative solution that helps with this most efficiently .

In this lecture, you will design and implement a 1Gbps Ethernet communication system using AMD (Xilinx) FPGA and TEMAC IP. You can complete a practical circuit by simply integrating IP based on the AXI interface without designing a complex MAC. In addition, you can develop a practical sense of hardware design by practicing the entire practical flow from ARP/UDP protocol implementation to debugging.

Curriculum Summary

  • Gigabit Ethernet is a term applied to transmitting Ethernet frames at a speed of 1 Gbps.

  • Widely used in applications requiring high-speed data transmission (industrial cameras, medical imaging, security and surveillance cameras, data centers, etc.)

  • The two main standards implemented in FPGAs are 1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-X.

  • 1000BASE-T uses an external PHY chip and uses Category 5e or higher cables.

  • To implement in FPGA, there are two ways: designing the MAC and PHY blocks directly and utilizing IP.

  • By utilizing TEMAC IP provided by AMD (Xilinx), you can implement the 1000BASE-T standard easily and quickly.

  • TEMAC IP provides a 120-day Evaluation license, allowing for quick evaluation.

  • TEMAC IP is connected to user logic via AXI4 Stream and AXI4 Lite. For this purpose, learning about AXI4 is performed.

  • Design and implement ARP and UDP protocols on FPGA to communicate with PC. This can lay the foundation for custom protocol development.

Practice environment

  • Vivado 2022.2 version

  • FPGA board and PC with Gigabit Ethernet port

  • Cables of Category 5e or higher

  • PC Tool

    • WireShark (network protocol analyzer, free to install)

    • Custom UDP receiving program

Provided Materials

  • TEMAP IP Example Design Project

  • ARP Processing Design Project

  • UDP Transmission Protocol Design Project

  • Custom UDP Receiver Program (Example Code)

  • Unlike traditional semiconductor design processes, FPGA is a device with the advantage of being able to implement designs quickly and easily. As long as you have the design source, it can be immediately placed and routed using the FPGA's logic elements. Furthermore, due to its strong hardware nature, the code is not complex and can be written intuitively.

  • The important thing is to understand FPGA design concepts and flows, and furthermore, to understand the design objectives and targets. Based on this, the core is to optimize the structure of the design source and input appropriate constraints to design a stable FPGA.

  • The course focuses on FPGA design concepts, architecture, methodologies, and flows rather than just coding, featuring step-by-step, hands-on practice. Building know-how through direct implementation and practical experience is the core of being an FPGA engineer, and this will hold greater value than coding, which is increasingly being replaced by AI.

  • An FPGA and hardware design expert with 10+ years of experience, specializing in high-speed data processing, communication system design, and image processing, with extensive participation in various FPGA projects.

    It was great to learn the concepts of Ethernet implementation and the methods for checking them were also good. I definitely think beginners would need to listen to this lecture multiple times to understand it. That said, I don't think the lecture quality is low at all. It was great to be able to take such a good lecture. Please continue to provide good lectures in the future.

    I would like to request the circuit diagram for the example source code. Thank you.

    • easyfpga
      Instructor

      Hello. Since the circuit diagram was not created by me directly, I ask for your understanding that it's difficult to share it directly due to copyright and permission issues. You can refer to the materials from AMD FPGA's Evaluation Boards for similar circuits.

    • oen1115532

      What does the name "Evaluation Board" mean?

      Please let me know what materials are needed. Is there insufficient information about Ethernet Frame details, or is there a lack of information about the code?
