Download Rev1 Update
To get the Rev1 update to resolve the issue described above, apply the following patch to the Xilinx ISE 13.4 software installation:
http://www.xilinx.com/txpatches/pub/swhelp/ise13_updates/ar45707_tri_mode_eth_mac_v5_2_rev1.zip
Install the patch by extracting the contents of the ".zip" archive to the root directory of the Xilinx ISE 13.4 software installation. Select the option that allows the extractor to overwrite all of the existing files and maintain the directory structure predefined in the archive.
After installing the patch, regenerate the LogiCORE IP Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC v5.2 core in the 13.4 CORE Generator tool.For further information on finding the Xilinx installation and using environment variables, see (Xilinx Answer 11630).
NOTE: You might need system administrator privileges to install the patch if you do not have write permissions to the Xilinxinstallation directory.
