Communication between PC and FPGA kit with ethernet phy chip

Hello,  

 

I need to read data off of a Stratix IV GT via the on board Ethernet port. That is, from a s4gt to a Marvel 88E1111, then to the PC. One direction, reasonable rate (Mbps).  

 

I have some working knowledge in VHDL and Labview.  

 

My questions are, can I simply program the hardware? do I have to implement NIOS processor and TSE megafunction? Does Marvel offer a Labview driver or library? 

 

Thanks very much,  

ak

The easiest way is to use a Nios-II processor with the TSE IP block.
