The GEDEK Ethernet IP represents a revolutionary leap in the integration of Ethernet connectivity with FPGAs. Designed to simplify traditionally complex implementations, this IP eliminates the need for a processor, Ethernet MACs, SGDMAs, or extensive memory, instead harnessing the power of a hardware-based solution. This processor-less structure ensures full bandwidth utilization in both directions, allowing efficient and seamless data transfer between FPGAs and other devices.
Capable of supporting diverse Ethernet speeds including 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G, the GEDEK IP accommodates a wide variety of applications, from simple direct connections to PCs, to comprehensive networks linking multiple FPGAs. The integration offered by GEDEK extends to various FPGA vendors, including Altera/Intel, AMD/Xilinx, and others, making it an incredibly flexible choice for developers looking for compatibility and easy implementation.
This IP is designed for versatility, featuring a 'plug and ping' ease of deployment which drastically reduces setup times. Through the inclusion of PC-side support for both Linux and Windows, the IP ensures developers need not engage in additional development efforts, allowing rapid adoption and implementation across various systems with minimal integration complexity.
