How to link/ code / use IP core in Spartan 3E with ethernet PHY FPGA

[Han_newbie]

Hi im newbie here , start to use Spartan 3E to run some project on Ethernet Communication with Spartan 3e but the source is limited. 

Anyone can help me , or share the knowledge how should i start with? im kind of lost in the project how to link the spartan 3e with Ethernet. 

Purpose of the project is to communicate the Spartan 3E through a switch via PC by sending some data or message and capture in wireshark.

Im using ISE14.7 to code the verilog but failed.

Hi @Han_newbie,

I personally haven't used the Spartan 3E or ISE 14.7, so I won't be of much help, though it doesn't help that the Spartan 3E's were originally sold in 2006. I took a look at the Ethernet sections in the two Xilinx User Guides for Spartan 3E's that Digilent used to sell (link1, link2) and there appears to be an IP core available, though it through EDK which requires a paid license from Xilinx based on what I know about it. I found a couple of Xilinx threads that might be helpful to you though (link1, link2).

I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Thanks,
JColvin
