Ethernet has become the predominant method for connecting devices in home
and office environments over the last decade. Originally developed in the 1970’s
by XEROX, it has become an IEEE standard 802.3
This designs demonstrates how to use the Ethernet port using a Nios II system on the DE2 board. It sends packets, and using a loopback Ethernet cable, it ll receive the same packets which are then displayed. It also works if the board is connected to another packet source.
