Appendix FPGA Ethernet MAC Addresses The FreeForm/PCI-104’s FPGA contains 2 dual Tri-Mode Ethernet MACs. One dual MAC is connected to the on-board Ethernet PHY, and the other is free for general use. In either case, the Ethernet MAC address is set by the user application, either HDL or embedded software – it is not hard coded as part of the FPGA silicon. -
