Release
The gateware and software for each DE5 NetFPGA project is bundled as two separate packages:
- A DE5 NetFPGA project package provided by University of Massachusetts, Amherst. It provides a port of the NetFPGA reference router/packet generator project directories on the Altera DE5 platform.
- A NetFPGA RTL source package, a modified version of Stanford University's NetFPGA reference router/packet generator design.
