With the rapid development of network and electronic technology, systems which combine the integrated electronic technology with the network technology are gradually getting more attention. These systems can be connected to different hosts efficiently and can achieve high-speed data transmission. An implementation of Gigabit Ethernet based on SOPC is given in this paper. We construct the hardware platform with Quartus II 10.0, SOPC Builder and Nios II IDE. The software platform is established with Nios II IDE and Microsoft Visual studio 6.0. We also use the hardware and software co-design of SOPC technology by integrating Nios II core processors, and finally connect to the Gigabit Ethernet successfully and achieve data transmission based on TCP/IP protocol. The final result of experiment shows that Gigabit Ethernet based on SOPC has greatly increased the flexibility of system design and makes the upper application program more convenient.
