7.4.2. TX MAC Segmented Client Interface with Enabled Preamble Passthrough

When you turn on Preamble Passthrough in the parameter editor, you must provide 8 preamble bytes to the TX MAC segmented client interface.
The table below describes TX MAC segmented field positions with enabled Preamble Passthrough parameter.
  • MII Start of Packet control byte always replaces the first preamble byte.
  • Bits[55:8] are the preamble bits, typically set to the 0x55 value.
  • Bits[63:56] are the last preamble byte. In a standard preamble, it is set to the Start Frame Delimeter 0xD5 value.
Table 44.  TX MAC Segmented Field Positions in i_tx_mac_data with Preamble Passthrough Enabled
Attention:

10GE/25GE requires multiple transfer cycle for header data.

The (') symbol in the 10GE/25GE i_tx_mac_data column represents transfer on the subsequent cycle.

The ('') symbol in the 10GE/25GE i_tx_mac_data column represents transfer on the 2nd subsequent cycle.
