2.1. Quick Start Guide

The E-Tile Ethernet IP for Intel® Agilex™ FPGA core for Intel® Agilex™ devices provides a simulation testbench. When you generate the design example, the parameter editor automatically creates the files necessary to simulate, compile, and test the design.

In addition, Intel® provides a compilation-only example project that you can use to quickly estimate IP core area and timing.
