The GEDEK Ethernet IP is a revolutionary product designed to embed efficient Ethernet connectivity into FPGA projects without the need for a processor or external memory. Typically, embedding Ethernet connectivity in FPGAs involves intricate and costly components like Ethernet MAC, external memories, and real-time operating systems. GEDEK bypasses these complexities with a processor-less hardware Ethernet stack that guarantees full-duplex bandwidth. This makes it exceptionally compact, cost-effective, and easy to integrate. The IP is compatible with various FPGA vendors including Intel, Xilinx, Lattice, and Microchip, and provides user-friendly PC-side integration for Linux and Windows. Thus, linking FPGA designs to Ethernet or other equipment like GigE Vision cameras becomes feasible within a day. This approach enhances the standard of Ethernet connectivity dramatically when compared to alternatives such as USB or PCIExpress.
