Enabling Flexible, High-Performance Designs
Embedded designers can use Altera's SOPC Builder tool and Nios II
integrated development environment (IDE) to customize their reference design
using MorethanIP's MAC-NET core and InterNiche's NicheStack IPv4 software
stack.
"The introduction of this reference design from InterNiche and MorethanIP
is another example of the momentum behind the Nios II embedded processor,"
said Chris Balough , Altera's director of software and Nios marketing.com/networkrefdesign.

InfiniBand Adoption Highlighted by Broad Participation from Major
Server, Storage , Enterprise, Government, Financial and Software
Organizations

The OpenIB Alliance announced the successful conclusion of the
first OpenIB Developer's Workshop for open source InfiniBand software
development. "The InterNiche embedded TCP/IP is a
perfect complement to the MAC-NET core, providing Nios II designers with a
highly optimized, scalable and full-featured solution. SOPC Builder enables the system engineer to quickly add, edit and
specify the connections between the Nios II processor , MAC-NET core and other
peripherals in the system.iniche. Combining programmable logic technology with software tools,
intellectual property and technical services, Altera provides high-value
programmable solutions to approximately 14,000 customers worldwide.

With the
advent of the OpenIB Alliance this is now available and Infiniband has
matured to become an enterprise class solution.
"The versatility and performance of our NicheStack IPv4 protocol suite
addresses the challenges faced by embedded systems development teams," said
Larry Larder, president of InterNiche. InterNiche's NicheStack IPv4 provides
developers with a configurable TCP/IP protocol suite equipped with a complete
range of management and security protocols including simple network management
protocol (SNMP), secure sockets layer (SSL), IP security (IPsec) and embedded
HTTP server, as well as a seamless roadmap to IPv6 support.

The
workshop attracted a critical mass of participation from server and
storage OEMs; enterprise software vendors; and government, financial,
and corporate end users. The reference design features:

-- A white paper
-- Documentation
-- Design files
-- A ready-to-use demo
-- MAC-NET, a high-performance Ethernet media access controller (MAC) with
integrated network protocol acceleration functions from MorethanIP
-- NicheStack IPv4, InterNiche's flexible and optimized networking stack

The MAC-NET core supports 10/100/1000 Mbit Ethernet connections and
incorporates a layer 3/4 high-performance checksum block to accelerate network
operations supporting InterNiche's NicheStack IPv4 and IPv6 with TCP and user
datagram protocol (UDP) protocols . This
includes design specification and implementation of standard products, system
architectures and customer specific solutions.

Altera InterNiche and MorethanIP Announce Networking Reference Design for Nios II Processor

"
"Embedded designers can use our Ethernet MAC with integrated hardware
network protocol acceleration (MAC-NET core) to increase the networking
performance for their embedded systems that require high throughput," said
Daniel Koehler, CTO at MorethanIP. It then connects all of the peripherals together
using the high-performance Avalon(TM) switch fabric, enabling the MAC-NET core
to efficiently move data through local memory resources. For more information, visit
