Closed taijusti closed 9 years ago

taijusti commented 9 years ago

after making the design distributed, need to add ethernet. suggest trying to make 2 fpgas send signals to each other.

looking into this now while waiting for zedboard to finish execution

ok, to be lazy, i asked someone within our research group who is working on getting FPGA-FPGA communication working over Ethernet. He tells me that if you want to go through a switch, you have to implement the Ethernet protocol by yourself. i.e. transmit 6 bytes of data representing the destination MAC, 6 bytes representing the source, etc.

This sounds like a lot of work to me. I think we should ask Paul if he thinks this is something we should include in the project

deemed to be too complicated. planning to implement on a single fpga. closing.
