Hi
We know that FPGA communicates over the ethernet. I need to find out if we can communicate over TCP/IP or anyone has implemented the same already.
Thank you.

Hello,
The Ethernet PHY on the WARP FPGA Board is supported by the Xilinx-provided Ethernet MAC core (known as the EMAC). The PowerPC within the Virtex-II Pro FPGA is responsible for controlling the EMAC. That control can include TCP-IP and other transport layer protocols. The EDK natively supports lwIP (light-weight IP) (http://www.sics.se/~adam/lwip/), which we have successfuly used for TCP/IP work on the FPGA board. Alternatively, network layers can be handled by an OS, like Linux or vxWorks, both of which are supported by the EDK for use on the PowerPC.
