6.2.3.2. SGMII MAC Mode Auto Negotiation

When the SGMII mode and the SGMII MAC mode auto-negotiation are enabled, the Triple-Speed Ethernet Intel® FPGA IP ignores the value in the dev_ability register and automatically sets the value to 16’h4001 as specified in the SGMII specification for SGMII auto-negotiation.

When the auto-negotiation is complete, the Triple-Speed Ethernet Intel® FPGA IP speed and the duplex mode is resolved based on the value in the partner_ability register. The partner_ability register is received from the link partner during the auto-negotiation process.
