This application note provides step-by-step instructions on how to recreate a Tri-Mode Ethernet(TEMAC) performance testing system using the ML405 board and MontaVista Linux 4.0. Thisapplication note shows how to set up a simple EDK Base System Builder system on the ML405Evaluation Platform and run performance tests. The network architecture for the test isdescribed. A system is built and downloaded into the FPGA. A MontaVista Linux kernel isconfigured, built, and downloaded into the ML405 Evaluation Platform. The instructions forobtaining and setting up the software used to perform the measurements, netperf, are given.
