Appendix A
Using the Client-Side FIFO
The example design provided with the GEMAC core contains a FIFO used on the client-
side of the core. The source code for the FIFO is provided, and may be used and adjusted
for user applications.
The 10 Mbps/100 Mbps/1 Gbps Ethernet FIFO is designed for use with the GEMAC and
Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC (TEMAC) cores. The FIFO directly interfaces to the MAC client
interface providing a buffer between the MAC and the user’s logic. The FIFO implements
a LocalLink user interface, (see
“Overview of LocalLink Interface,” on page 130
) allowing
a direct connection to other LocalLink modules or the user’s logic.
The 10 Mbps/100 Mbps/1 Gbps Ethernet FIFO consists of independent transmit and
receive FIFOs embedded in a top-level wrapper.
