Implementation of Ethernet, Aurora and their Integrated module for High Speed Serial Data Transmission using Xilinx EDK on Virtex-5 FPGA

This paper implements and establishes serial data transmission techniques like high speed Rocket IO (SERDES/MGT) and Gigabit-Ethernet, employing the architectural features of Virtex-5 FPGA. Ethernet and custom Aurora IP core are integrated to the processor in EDK (Embedded Development Kit) and the registers which are enabled in the custom Aurora IP core are accessed by Ethernet whose assigned data is sent on the Ethernet cable. By using this, the high speed serial data is transmitted at the rate of 1 Gbps for Ethernet, 3.125 Gbps for aurora respectively and 1 Gbps for integrated module of Ethernet and Aurora.
