Hi @sateesh,

It is unclear what you want to do.

The Ethernet port is connected to the processor in the PYNQ-Z2. In the PYNQ SD Card image this Ethernet port is a regular network interface for the OS.

You can use the Linux network stack to establish your connections and send data.

Hi Sateesh,

How are you checking TCP packets error? Are you using a program like Wireshark to check?

The ethernet natively does not support the FPGA PHY so it has to be configured. We are also bringing up the ethernet interface using both PS and PL, and using pynq OS. We have chosen TCP protocol and are planning a data rate of 300 Mbps of raw data from the external RAM on the pynq board.

Can you give more details of what all things have you tried unto now for ethernet bring up?
