Thank you for the detailed answer Zygot. It seems there’s a lot of work cut out for me and my team. The bigger picture view of our project is that we’d like to route packets to and from different PHY interfaces on the Zybo (Ethernet is on board, WiFi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee are on PMOD) to a computer (likely communicating by USB/UART to my understanding, but this could change). The computer would then run some packet analysis protocol, which another teammate is working on. As someone working on the “FPGA side” of the project, I’m trying to find a way to get data from different PHY inputs (Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee) through the Zybo to the processing computer. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, would it be possible for the Zybo Zynq-7000 to receive a signal via Ethernet and transmit it via the UART/USB port? My understanding of is that since Ethernet and the UART can be on the PS, there is a possibility of connecting these ports here by using software written in the SDK. If this is true, how would one go about this? Are there any functions I could look into? Another option would be to connect them in the PL, as Ethernet can access the PL via EMIO interface GMII, and UART signals can be routed through the EMIO. This would require a (probably?) non-trivial Verilog block in the PL to convert UART to Ethernet, which isn't preferred for me as a beginner in Verilog (or HDLs in general). If the above software-based solution isn't possible, how would you approach this design, and how feasible is it?
