Web Server on a FPGA, without CPU, only VHDL (French)

The final realization of the final student project, a web server in a FPGA, without any processor, only VHDL. We are using a Xilinx Spartan 3E Evaluation card, clocked at 50MHz. The request time is about 100µs. The UART is the bottleneck of the system (no enough time to create the Ethernet driver), else the theorecal bandwith is about 90MBit/s. The web server is hard-real time and determinist. More information on http://gawgle.net/.

gawgle.net is down can you bring it online back?

@fpgabe Unfortunately my home server crashed with all my data ... However a new version is coming with more information about this project. If you want specific information about it, feel free to ask.

Hi fescare,

I did myself the webserver. The project's purpose was to make a webserver without any processor. The webserver logic is directly wired in the FPGA. I think you won't think any webserver usable out-of-the-box. You should probably use a picoblaze to make run it.

I insert the webpages in the memory flash of the FPGA evaluation card : it reads it each time a request is done.

very cool man, your site is down, can you tell me how to make that? :) or maybe you have reference?

my cpu in my server is a bottelneck as well its to its an amd athlon 64 x2 7750 be

Hi first i want to congratulate you for that amazing job, rigth now im trying todo a webserver on my fpga myself, but not for a webpage, instead i want to creat a chat with the fpga, where you can access tha chat via web and the fpga with the monitor and the keyboard will be able to creat a chat, i just want to know where do you get the web server, from xilins, and how do you insert the webpage thanks

need more info

did you use picoblaze or not?
