pc fpga communication using ethernet

[Harikrishnan]

I have a zybo fpga board, and need to send data from my PC to this board via Ethernet. I had already created a server and client socket program in C in which the server can send data to the client(a text file). Now I need to connect fpga board in place of my client PC, so what all should I do?

Hi @Harikrishnan,

We have a petalinux platform for the Zybo here which has the ethernet hardware facilitated. This would be very similar to your current set up.  You could also use a ZYNQ/SDK project without embedded linux. The ethernet lite IP Core has a client/server ethernet template available in Vivado 2018.x and above.  We have an older echo server tutorial here that should be helpful on getting your project going. Instead of selecting the echo server choose the template you would like to use. 

best regards,

Jon
