Thank you for your post Abdullah. Please see the pic below of our Volitio board passing 1G Ethernet between an RJ45 jack and LVDS on a pair of SMA connectors into a scope. This is in the RX direction for Ethernet, but either direction will work.
The FPGA is an Altera Cyclone 10 GX, and the FPGA firmware is a customization of our Private Island open source Verilog stack. The Cyclone 10 GX is a great choice for development since Quartus Pro is a free license for this device.
We would love to see you work with OpenVino using our platform. If interested, please send an email to support@privateisland.tech, and we can begin a discussion about how to support your research.
Also, please take a look at the references provided below that provide more information on our platform and capabilities.
Thank you.
