Ethernet adapter not supported #7

Closed gardners closed 9 years ago

gardners commented 10 years ago

The Nexys4 has an ethernet adapter based on the LAN8720A which it would be good to support. Requires a 50MHz clock. There are some proprietary cores for driving it, but many seem to need a prescribed processor core to go with it, whereas we want a direct mapped IO, and preferably LGPL license.

A good solution might be the open-source core described in this paper: http://www.idt.mdh.se/kurser/ct3340/ht10/FinalPapers/17-Khalilzad_Pourshakour.pdf

I have written to the authors to ask just where on the internet the source is available from.

A student has been allocated this issue as a final year project.

... but I ended up implementing it myself ages ago.
