5.3.3. Triple-Speed Ethernet System with 1000BASE-X Interface

Figure 36.  Triple-Speed Ethernet System with 1000BASE-X Interface with Register Initialization Recommendation


Use the following recommended initialization sequences for the example shown in the figure above.

  1. External PHY Initialization using MDIO

    Refer to step 1 in System with MII/GMII.

  2. PCS Configuration Register Initialization
    1. Set Auto Negotiation Link Timer

      //Set Link timer to 10ms for 1000BASE-X

      link_timer (address offset 0x12) = 0x12D0

      link_timer (address offset 0x13) = 0x13

    2. Configure SGMII

      //1000BASE-X/SGMII PCS is default in 1000BASE-X Mode

      //SGMII_ENA = 0, USE_SGMII_AN = 0

      if_mode = 0x0000

    3. Enable Auto Negotiation

      //Enable Auto Negotiation

      //AUTO_NEGOTIATION_ENA = 1, Bit 6,8,13 is Read Only

      PCS Control Register = 0x1140

    4. PCS Reset

      //PCS Software reset is recommended where there any configuration changed

      //RESET = 1

      PCS Control Register = 0x9140

      Wait PCS Control Register RESET bit is clear

  3. MAC Configuration Register Initialization

    Refer to step 2 in System with MII/GMII.

Note:

If 1000BASE-X/SGMII PCS is initialized, set the ETH_SPEED (bit 3) and ENA_10 (bit 25) in command_config register to 0. If half duplex is reported in the PHY/PCS status register, set the HD_ENA (bit 10) to 1 in command_config register.
