17.4. EMAC Signal Description
For designs that are pin-limited on HPS I/O, the EMAC can be configured to expose either a GMII or MII PHY interface to the FPGA fabric, which can be routed directly to FPGA I/O pins. Exposing the PHY interface to the FPGA fabric also allows adapting the GMII/MII to other PHY interface types such as SGMII and RMII using soft logic with the appropriate general purpose or transceiver I/O resources.
The figure below depicts a design which routes the EMAC0 and EMAC1 PHY interfaces through the FPGA fabric to provide an RMII and SGMII interface using FPGA I/O. EMAC2's PHY interface has been configured to use the HPS I/O.
Refer to the "EMAC FPGA Interface Initialization" section to find out more information about configuring EMAC interfaces through FPGA.
