3.4. Creating a New 10GbE Design
You can use the Quartus II software to create a new 10GbE design. Altera provides a
customizable Qsys design example file to facilitate the development of your 10GbE
design. Follow these steps to create the design:
1. Copy the respective design example directory to your preferred project directory:
altera_eth_10g_mac_xaui or altera_eth_10g_mac_base_r from
<ip library>/ethernet/altera_eth_10g_design_example.
2. Launch the Quartus II software and open the top.v file from the project directory.
setup_SIVGX230C2ES.tcl
A Tcl script that sets the pin assignments and I/O
standards for the Stratix IV GX FPGA
development board. Use this Tcl script for the
10GbE MAC with XAUI PHY design example.
setup_EP4S100G5H40I3.tcl
A Tcl script that sets the pin assignments and I/O
standards for the Stratix IV GT Signal Integrity
development board. Use this Tcl script for the
10GbE MAC with 10GBASE-R PHY design
example.
setup_5SGXEA7N2F40C2ES.tcl
A Tcl script that sets the pin assignments and I/O
standards for the Stratix V GX Signal Integrity
development board. Use this Tcl script for the
10GbE MAC with 10GBASE-R PHY design
example.
top.sdc
The Quartus II SDC constraint file for use with
the TimeQuest timing analyzer.
top.v
The top-level entity file of the design example for
verification in hardware. Not applicable for
Stratix V design.
top_sv.v
The top-level entity file of the design example—
with the Quartus II software targeting the
Stratix V device—for verification in hardware.
common.tcl
A Tcl script that contains basic functions based
on the system console APIs to access the
registers through the Avalon-MM interface.
config.tcl A Tcl script that configures the design example.
csr_pkg.tcl
A Tcl script that maps address to the Avalon-MM
control registers. The script contains APIs which
is used by config.tcl and show_stats.tcl.
show_stats.tcl
A Tcl script that displays the MAC statistics
counters.
altera_eth_10g_design_example_hw.tcl
A hardware Tcl script that contains the
composition of the Ethernet system.
