Note: You can access all the listed designs through the Low Latency Ethernet 10G MAC Intel® FPGA IP parameter editor in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software, except for the XAUI Ethernet reference design. You can get the XAUI Ethernet reference design from the Design Store.
Intel offers separate MAC and PHY IPs for the 10M to 1G Multi-rate Ethernet subsystems to ensure flexible implementation. You can instantiate the Low Latency Ethernet 10G MAC Intel® FPGA IP with 1G/2.5G/5G/10G Multi-rate Ethernet PHY, Intel® Arria® 10 1G/10GbE and 10GBASE-KR PHY, or XAUI PHY and Intel® Arria® 10 Transceiver Native PHY to cater different design requirements.
