Overview

The EMAC has a master management interface, which is used to access the PHY configuration registers. Depending on the configuration, the EMAC will either read the values from the PHY registers (auto-configuration mode) or set the values according to the programmed values (programming mode). The MDIO (po_master_mdio/pi_master_mdio) and MDC (po_master_mdc) ports are used to serially write and read management interface registers. A 2.5 MHz clock waveform must be provided to the MDC port on this interface.

Every management read/write instruction frame contains the following fields:

  • PRE, Preamble - The EMAC management interface generates a full 32-bit preamble
  • ST, Start of Frame (A "01" pattern indicates the start of frame)
  • OP, Operation Code - A read instruction is indicated by "01", while a write instruction is indicated by "10"
  • DEVAD, Device Address - A five-bit device address follows the opcode, with the most significant bit transmitted first.
  • REGAD, Register Address - A five-bit register address follows the DEVAD field, with the most significant bit transmitted first. This field is used to access the management registers of the PHY.
  • TA, Turnaround - The next two bit times are used to avoid contention on the MDIO port during a read transaction. For a read transaction, the PHY device and the system MDIO should be in tri-state for the first cycle of turnaround. The PHY device drives zero during the second cycle of the turnaround. For write transactions, the EMAC should drive 1 during the first cycle of the turnaround and zero during the second cycle.
  • Data - The last 16 bits of the frame are the actual data bits. For a write operation, these bits are sent to the PHY device. For a read operation, the PHY device drives these bits. In both cases, the most significant bit is transmitted first.
  • Idle - This indicates a high-impedance state of the MDIO line. The default state of the MDIO signal is high impedance with a pull-up resistor.

Master MDIO data output line (tri-state buffer outside of the module)

po_master_oni

output

var reg

Master MDIO direction tri-state buffer control (1 - Output, 0 - Input)

po_mdio_err

output

var reg

Configuration interface (HOST clock domain) Indicates that a read from MDIO interface is invalid and the

pi_mdio_wdata

input

wire logic[15:0]

operation should be retried. This is indicated during a read turn-around cycle when the MDIO slave does not drive the MDIO signal to the low state. MDIO write data

po_mdio_rdata

output

var reg[15:0]

MDIO read data

pi_mdio_start

input

wire logic

Setting this bit initiates an MDIO read/write operation. Start indication

po_mdio_done

output

var reg

should remain asserted till the transaction complete. (asynchronous) MDIO transaction complete

pi_mdio_rnw

input

wire logic

This bit indicates the direction of the MDIO operation type:

pi_mdio_daddr

input

wire logic[4:0]

0 - MDIO Write operation, 1 - MDIO read operation This field is used to specify the device address to be accessed.

pi_mdio_raddr

input

wire logic[4:0]

This field is used to specify the register address to be accessed.
