AR# 34484 12.1 EDK - How can I simulate an Ethernet design with packet transmission and reception?

Description

I would like to simulate anEDK Ethernet design for receiving and transmitting packets. But I do not have a PHY model that can be connected to the EMAC.How do I simulate this environment?

Solution

Generate a CORE Generator EMAC core with the targeted interface (MII/GMII/SGMII) and use the generated testbench in EDK.

TheCORE Generator testbench stimulus provides packets at the MAC's physical interface, so within the EDK design, the user program can wait for a packet reception and send it back to the EMAC for transmission. TheCORE Generator testbench then verifies the newly transmitted (looped-back) packet.
