2.1. E-Tile Hard IP for Ethernet Intel FPGA IP Quick Start Guide

The E-tile Hard IP for Ethernet Intel® FPGA IP core for Stratix® 10 devices provides a simulation testbench and a hardware design example that supports compilation and hardware testing. When you generate the design example, the parameter editor automatically creates the files necessary to simulate, compile, and test the design in hardware.

In addition, you can download the compiled hardware design to the Stratix® 10 TX Transceiver Signal Integrity Development Kit. Intel® provides a compilation-only example project that you can use to quickly estimate IP core area and timing.
