RE: [oc] NIC controller etc?

I bought an XESS XSV board that was delivered yesterday. As soon as I have
some one fire it up and see how easy it is to use I will everyone know.

Hi all,

I know that Xilinx was/is working on an ethernet core.  Also you can find a
well
documented Xilinx board for the virtex chipset at this URL:
http://www.xess.com/prod014.html
By the way that link has full schematics for the design including an
ethernet
interface, RAMDAC (video), and even a 20 bit stereo codec!
