Socket Server
The Arria 10 device on the HAN Pilot Platform consists of built-in serializer/reserialize (SERDES)
circuitry for high-speed LVDS interfaces to support Gigabit Ethernet. Ethernet has been the
dominant networking protocol providing a simple, cost-effective option for backbone and server
connectivity. Gigabit Ethernet builds on top of the Ethernet protocol with speed up to 1000 Mbps,
or 1 gigabit per second (Gbps). In this demonstration, we will illustrate how to create a simple
socket server generated in Nios II using the Gigabit Ethernet devices equipped on the HAN Pilot
Platform.
System Block Diagram
As indicated in the block diagram in
, the Nios II processor is used to communicate
with the client via Marvell 88E1111 Ethernet Transceiver.
