General Description
So-Logic's 1000Base-X PCS core implements 1000Base-X PCS/PMA sublayer from the IEEE Std. 802.3-2008 specification.
It can use any available Xilinx MGT transceivers to implement required physical signaling. For the interface with the MAC layer core uses standard GMII interface.
The so_ip_eth_1000BaseX_pcs_pma core can be evaluated using Xilinx Evaluation Platforms before actual purchase. This is achieved by using a demonstration bit files for KC705 platform that allows the user to connect the So-Logic's complete 1G Ethernet solution system to some other Ethernet enabled device (PC or some Ethernet tester equipment) and evaluate system performance under different transfer scenarios.
For more information about the 1000Base-X PCS Controller core please consult the corresponding datasheet.

Reference Design and Evaluation Version
Reference design as well as evaluation netlist are available for the 1000Base-X PCS Controller core upon the request.
Reference design comes in a form of bit file for Zynq-7000, Artix-7, Kintex-7, Virtex-7, Virtex-6, Spartan-6 and Virtex-5 Xilinx FPGA Evaluation Platforms. Using this reference design, customer can connect it's Ethernet enabled device (network analyzer or PC) to the 1000Base-X PCS Controller core and evaluate the functionality and performance of the core.
Evaluation netlists are also available upon a request. Using evaluation netlist user can integrate 1000Base-X PCS Controller core into its specific application-related design and evaluate 1000Base-X PCS Controller core performance in the target application for a limited period of time.
