1 -Not sure what the limitation is with the bram and the net vanilla, but I now you can minimize the cache in microblaze to save bram if needed.

2- That module is only 1M that sounds really tight, but for a very basic setup may work. You need to configure it over the 0x80000000 space.

3- Here in US I think the MAC module cost about $1200 or so, but the EDK has a free demo version that will run for several hours at 10Mb/s or a few hours at 100Mb/s, then you need to reset.

 

By the way,  did somebody tried the MAC lite, is there a compatible driver?. Iam not sure if that one is free (sounds like it)

 

I hope this help,

 

Rick.

Hi,

 

I have spartan-IIE board (300K gates) from Memec/Insight with P160 module.

1. Is it possible to port mb_vanilla_net there (Bram is just up to 0x0001FFF)?

2. My board doesn't have any additional RAM, just that on P160 module.

    Is that enough?

3. For networking - is there a need to buy TCP/IP core for Microblaze?

 

Many thanks,

 

Uros
