Ethernet interface provides full support for the Ethernet synchronous serial interface, compatible with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet specification. Through its Ethernet compatibility, it provides a simple interface to a wide range of low-cost devices. Ethernet IIP is proven in FPGA environment. The host interface of the Ethernet can be simple interface or can be AMBA APB, AMBA AHB, AMBA AXI, VCI, OCP, Avalon, PLB, Tilelink, Wishbone or Custom protocol.
ETHERNET IIP is supported natively in Verilog and VHDL
