GigE not being achievable on low-end FPGAs explains it really well, thank you.

- lnsru 4y agoAt the moment I have Artix 7 with ancient gigabit PHY running GigE. In Xilinx eco-system it is pretty low-end device.
- stas2k 4y ago20 Euro Colorlight 5A FPGA boards from Aliexpress come with dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, open toolchain to build a SoC that can access them as well. LiteX allows me to use it as a Gigabit Ethernet powered logic analyzer with a lot of inputs.
- stephen_g 4y agoNo, if the FPGA can do this, then it would be perfectly capable of interfacing to a gigabit PHY or a parallel/serial converter for a Gigabit SFP.
- NovemberWhiskey 4y agoRGMII only requires a 125MHz clock; which is not particularly fast. It depends what you mean by "low-end", but you can certainly implement gigabit Ethernet on something like an Intel/Altera MAX 10 for example. It does rather depend on what you want to do with it though.
