3. 10GbE MAC Design Examples
You can use the following 10GbE design examples and testbenches to help you get
started with the 10GbE MAC IP core and use the core in your design:
■ 10GbE MAC with XAUI PHY
■ 10GbE MAC with 10GBASE-R PHY
1
XAUI PHY and 10GBASE-R PHY do not support Stratix III devices.
3.1. Software and Hardware Requirements
Altera uses the following hardware and software to test the 10GbE design examples
and testbenches:
■ Quartus II software 13.1
■ Stratix IV GX FPGA development kit (for XAUI PHY)
■ Transceiver Signal Integrity development kit, Stratix IV GT Edition (for
10GBASE-R PHY)
■ ModelSim ® -AE 6.6c, ModelSim-SE 6.6c or higher
f
