Due to a problem with the AN 830: Intel® FPGA Triple-Speed Ethernet and On-Board PHY Chip Reference Design for Intel® Stratix® 10 FPGA, the reference design sets the ETH_SPEED bit (Ethernet speed control) in the command register of the Triple-Speed Ethernet Intel® FPGA IP core to 1 through the config.tcl script.
When the ETH_SPEED setting is set to 1,
- if the link speed is 1000 Mbps, the Triple-Speed Ethernet Intel® FPGA IP RX channel outputs Ethernet packets to the Avalon®-ST interface
- if the link speed is either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, no Ethernet packets output to the Avalon-ST interface.
