Reference Design Modifications

The TRD includes a pre-built Ethernet application as an extension of the base design. The
following section describes the setup procedure required to add the Ethernet application.
The pre-built user extension design can be tested only on Linux and not on Windows.
IMPORTANT:
There is no support for the user extension design on the Windows platform.
The Generator and Checker based application (base design) is explained in the previous
section. With the base design, functionality of PCIe-DMA with the AXI4-Stream interface is
established. Consider adding a packet-based application, for example, 10-Gigabit Ethernet.
Because this is a x8 Gen2 link, dual 10-Gigabit Ethernet can operate at full bandwidth.
Consider what additional components would be needed to stitch the whole design
together. Figure 5-29
developing the Ethernet design. It is an extension of the base design. Two instances of
10-Gigabit Ethernet MAC and 10-Gigabit BASE-R PHY are added to convert this design to a
dual 10-Gigabit network interface card (NIC). The following section describes the setup
procedure required to test the 2x10G Ethernet design in both Application and Performance
modes.
