# Taxi Example Design for Arty A7
## Introduction
This example design targets the Digilent Arty A7 FPGA board.
The design places a looped-back MAC on the BASE-T port, as well as a looped-back UART on the USB UART.
* USB UART
* Looped-back UART
* RJ-45 Ethernet port with TI DP83848J PHY
* Looped-back MAC via MII
## Board details
* FPGA: XC7A35TICSG324-1L
* PHY: TI DP83848J via MII
## How to build
Run `make` in the appropriate `fpga*` subdirectory to build the bitstream. Ensure that the Xilinx Vivado toolchain components are in PATH.
## How to test
Run `make program` to program the board with Vivado.
To test the looped-back UART, use any serial terminal software like minicom, screen, etc. The looped-back UART will echo typed text back without modification.
To test the looped-back MAC, it is recommended to use a network tester like the Viavi T-BERD 5800 that supports basic layer 2 tests with a loopback. Do not connect the looped-back MAC to a network as the reflected packets may cause problems.
