6.4. Creating a New 10M-10GbE MAC with IEEE 1588v2 Design
You can use the Quartus II software to create a new 10M-10GbE MAC with IEEE
1588v2 design. Altera provides a Qsys design example file that you can customize to
facilitate the development of your 10M-10GbE MAC with IEEE 1588v2 design.
To create the design, perform the following steps:
1. Launch the Quartus II software and open a new Quartus II Project.
2. Run add_design_example_files.tcl in the Quartus II software to add the required
design example files to the project.
3. Launch Qsys from the Tools menu and open the
altera_eth_10g_mac_base_kr_1588.qsys file.
4. Turn off the additional module under the Use column if your design does not
require it. This action disconnects the module from the 10M-10GbE MAC with
IEEE 1588v2 system.
5. Double-click on eth_10g_design_example_0 and eth_10g_design_example_1 to
launch the parameter editor.
6. Specify the required parameters in the parameter editor.
7. Click Finish.
8. On the Generation tab, select either a Verilog HDL or VHDL simulation model
and make sure that the Create HDL design files for synthesis option is turned on.
9. Click Generate to generate the simulation and synthesis files.
10. Launch the MegaWizard Plug-in Manager from the Tools menu. Select Edit an
existing custom megafunction variation and regenerate reconfig.v from the
reconfig folder.
11. Click Finish.
