Chapter 16: Gigabit Ethernet Controller
The MDC must not exceed 2.5 MHz as defined by the IEEE802.3 standard. The
gem.net_cfg[mdc_clk_div] bits are used to set the divisor for the CPU_1x clock.
Example: Consider a case with the CPU clock set to 666.667 MHz clock and the available CPU_1x
clock is 111.11 MHz. The clock divisor, in this case should be set to 48 (0b011) in
gem.net_cfg[mdc_clk_div] to set the maximum possible frequency of 2.314 MHz for the MDC.
PHY configuration and initialization is unique for every system. Refer to the vendor data sheet for
more information and PHY register details.
Example: PHY Read/Write Operation
1. Check to see that no MDIO operation is in progress. Read until
gem.net_status[phy_mgmt_idle] = 1.
2. Write data to the PHY maintenance register(gem.phy_maint). This initiates the shift
operation over MDIO. Refer to Appendix B, Register Details section B.18 Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (GEM)for register information.
3. Wait for completion of operation. Read until gem.net_statusp[phy_mgmt_idle] = 1.
4. Read data bits for a read operation. The PHY register data is available in gem.phy_maint[data].
Example: PHY Initialization
1. Detect the PHY address. Read the PHY identifier fields in PHY registers 2 and 3 for all the PHY
addresses ranging from 1 to 32. The register contents will be valid for a valid PHY address.
2. Advertise the relevant speed/duplex settings. These bits can be set to suit the system. Refer to
the PHY vendor data sheet for more information.
3. Configure the PHY as applicable. This could include options to set PHY mode, timing options
in the PHY or others as applicable to the system. Refer to the PHY vendor datasheet for more
information.
4. Wait for completion of Auto-negotiation. Read the PHY status register. Refer to the PHY
vendor data sheet for more information.
5. Update Controller with auto-negotiated speed and duplex settings. Read the relevant PHY
registers to determine the negotiated speed and duplex. Set the speed in gem.net_cfg[gige_en]
and gem.net_cfg[speed] bits and the duplex in gem.net_cfg[full_duplex].
Note: The SLCR register must be updated for clock updates (refer to Configure Clocks, page 510).
16.3.5 Configure the Buffer Descriptors
Receive Buffer Descriptor List
The data received by the controller is written to pre-allocated buffer descriptors in system memory.
These buffer descriptor entries are listed in the receive buffer queue. Refer to section 16.2.5 DMA
Block and Table 16-2, page 489 for more information on implementation and structure of the Rx
Buffer Descriptor.
The Receive-buffer Queue Pointer register (gem.rx_qbar) points to this data structure as shown in
Figure 16-4.
