Hi, Satya and Veeresh.

 

1. Yes, addresses are part of the frame that will be transmitted.

 

2. No block is in charge of that. Host (processor or whatever is connected to the wishbone interface) is in charge to save data frames that will be transmitted to the memory. These frames also include addresses.

 

Regards,

Hi Igor,

How r u?I got some doubts regarding your MAC core operation :

1.You mentioned that during frame transmission,first frame will be stored in memory.My doubt is whether that frame contains the data,source address,destination address ....??

 

2.If it contains source address,destination address on what criteria,that will be assigned and which block assigns those addresses?

 

Pls reply me immly.
