Direction

Description

gmii_txd_chx[7:0] (1)

Input

GMII Transmit data

gmii_txd_en_chx (1)

Input

GMII Transmit data enable

gmii_tx_er_chx (1)

Input

GMII Transmit error

gmii_rxd_chx[7:0] (2)

Output

GMII Receive data

gmii_rxd_dv_chx (2)

Output

GMII Receive data valid

gmii_rx_er_chx (2)

Output

GMII Receive error

gtx_clk_chx

Input

GMII TX clock. This is valid only in GMII configuration in PHY mode

gmii_rx_clk_chx

Output

GMII RX clock. This is valid only in GMII configuration in PHY mode

sgmii_clk_en_chx

Output

Clock enables. This valid only in MAC mode.

sgmii_clk_en_rx_chx

Output

Clock enables. This valid only in MAC mode and when RX path is on rxuserclk2.

Notes:

1. In MAC mode these signals are synchronous to 125 MHz reference clock of the core, that is, userclk2 . In GMII configuration of PHY mode these signals are synchronous to gtx_clk_chx and these signals are synchronized to userclk2 domain using Transmit Elastic Buffer present in the block

2. These signals are synchronous to 125 MHz reference clock of the core. This is userclk2 .

mii_tx_er_chx (1)

Input

MII Transmit error

mii_rxd_chx[7:0] (2)

Output

MII Receive data

mii_rx_dv_chx (2)

Output

MII Receive data valid

mii_rx_er_chx (2)

Output

MII Receive data error

mii_tx_clk_chx

Output

MII TX clock. This is valid only in MII configuration in MII mode. The clock can be 2.5/25 MHz based on 10/100 Mbps mode of operation

mii_rx_clk_chx

Output

MII RX clock. This is valid only in MII configuration in MII mode. The clock can be 2.5/25 MHz based on 10/100 Mbps mode of operation

Notes:

1. These signals should be driven on mii_tx_clk_chx .

2. These signals are synchronous to mii_rx_clk_chx .
