# Trashernet
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Trashernet is a very trashy Ethernet stack for FPGAs written in VHDL aiming to cover all OSI layers:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Layer 1, Physical: `trashernet_phy`
|
||
|
|
* Layer 2, Data link: `trashernet_mac`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When writing it, the following were the main design philosophies:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Standards are nice and all, but this, it just needs to work.
|
||
|
|
2. Hardware is expensive, LOC are not. So let's do everything we can inside the FPGA.
|
||
|
|
3. If there's a feature that feels optional even though it isn't, it is. See 1. if in doubt.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**IMPORTANT:** This code (and HW suggestions) violate the Ethernet standard in many ways. Do not use in proper (especially commercial) products.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Hardware
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TBD. TL;DR:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* RX: Use resistors behind Ethernet magnetics to reduce Ethernet RX voltage levels (0 +-2.5V) to LVPECL voltage levels (1.65V +-400mV). Or LVDS if your FPGA can't handle LVPECL.
|
||
|
|
* TX: Meh, a series current limiting resistor is good enough.
