Following are a list of Frequently Asked Questions with their associated answers or links to where the answer can be located.

Solution

Q1. What other Ethernet IP cores are available?
A1. See http://www.xilinx.com/ethernet for a list of IP Ethernet Cores.

Q2. Why am I experiencing problems with data reception or transmission?
A2. To get started debugging possible RX/TX data issues or link up issues, see the debugging Appendix in the XAUI User's Guide (UG150): http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/ipcommunicationnetwork_ethernet_xaui.htm

Q3. What is the latency through the core?
A3. See the Core Latency Appendix in the XAUI User's Guide (UG150): http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/ipcommunicationnetwork_ethernet_xaui.htm

Q4. What verification and testing has been done with the core?
A4. The XAUI core has been verified using both simulation and hardware testing. The core has been tested at the University of New Hampshire (UNH). For more information, see the Verification and Interoperability Appendix in the XAUI User's Guide (UG150): http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/ipcommunicationnetwork_ethernet_xaui.htm

Q5. How do I connect the XAUI core to the 10GEMAC LogiCORE system?
A5. See the Special Design Considerations -> Interfacing to the Xilinx XAUI Core section in the 10-Gigabit Ethernet MAC User's Guide (UG148) : http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/ipcommunicationnetwork_ethernet_do-di-10gemac.htm

Q6. How does Synchronization, Alignment, and Link Up work? How are Idles encoded and faults handled?
A6. See the debugging Appendix in the XAUI User's Guide (UG150): http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/ipcommunicationnetwork_ethernet_xaui.htm

Q7. Where can I find a reference design for the XAUI core?
Q7. In addition to the Example Design provided when the core is generated in the CORE Generator software (see the Getting Started Guide for more details: http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/ipcommunicationnetwork_ethernet_do-di-10gemac.htm), there is the "10-Gigabit Ethernet Hardware Demonstration Platform Application Note" (XAPP955):
