After adding xps_ll_temac 2.03 to a project, the production "star" mark becomes a license (eval) "locked" mark even when the Hard Ethernet option is selected.
Does the XPS LL TEMAC IP require a license to implement hard Ethernet?
The XPS LL TEMAC does not require a license to implement hard Ethernet MAC (available in select devices).
This is a bug in the display of the IP in the system assembly view.
To work around this display bug, make the following change in the MPD file found in the $XILINX_EDK\hw\XilinxProcessoriPLib\pcores\xps_ll_temac_v2_03_a\data\ folder:
Change Line 61OPTION PAY_CORE = soft_temac_wrap_v2, ISVALID = (C_TEMAC_TYPE==2), LIBNAME = soft_temac_wrap_v2_03_a
To:OPTION PAY_CORE_MAP = (soft_temac_wrap_v2_03_a:soft_temac_wrap_v2 = (ISVALID C_TEMAC_TYPE==2) )
The same change must be made in the $XILINX_EDK\hw\XilinxProcessoriPLib\pcores\__MpdDataBase.txt file as well.
