6.1.1.8. MII/GMII/RGMII Signals

Table 65.  GMII/RGMII/MII Signals
Name I/O Description
GMII Transmit
gm_tx_d[7:0] I GMII transmit data bus.
gm_tx_en O Asserted to indicate that the data on the GMII transmit data bus is valid.
gm_tx_err O Asserted to indicate to the PHY that the frame sent is invalid.
GMII Receive
gm_rx_d[7:0] I GMII receive data bus.
gm_rx_dv I Assert this signal to indicate that the data on the GMII receive data bus is valid. Keep this signal asserted during frame reception, from the first preamble byte until the last byte of the CRC field is received.
gm_rx_err I The PHY asserts this signal to indicate that the receive frame contains errors.
RGMII Transmit
rgmii_out[3:0] O RGMII transmit data bus. Drives gm_tx_d[3:0] on the positive edge of tx_clk and gm_tx_d[7:4] on the negative edge of tx_clk.
tx_control O Control output signal. Drives gm_tx_en on the positive edge of tx_clk and a logical derivative of (gm_tx_en XOR gm_tx_err) on the negative edge of tx_clk.
RGMII Receive
rgmii_in[3:0] I RGMII receive data bus. Expects gm_rx_d[3:0] on the positive edge of rx_clk and gm_rx_d[7:4] on the negative edge of rx_clk.
rx_control I RGMII control input signal. Expects gm_rx_dv on the positive edge of rx_clk and a logical derivative of (gm_rx_dv XOR gm_rx_err) on the negative edge of rx_clk.
MII Transmit
m_tx_d[3:0] O MII transmit data bus.
m_tx_en O Asserted to indicate that the data on the MII transmit data bus is valid.
m_tx_err O Asserted to indicate to the PHY device that the frame sent is invalid.
MII Receive
m_rx_d[3:0] I MII receive data bus.
m_rx_en I Assert this signal to indicate that the data on the MII receive data bus is valid. Keep this signal asserted during frame reception, from the first preamble byte until the last byte of the CRC field is received.
m_rx_err I The PHY asserts this signal to Indicate that the receive frame contains errors.
MII PHY Status
m_rx_col I Collision detection. The PHY asserts this signal to indicate a collision during frame transmission. This signal is not used in full- duplex or gigabit mode.
m_rx_crs I Carrier sense detection. The PHY asserts this signal to indicate that it has detected transmit or receive activity on the Ethernet line. This signal is not used in full-duplex or gigabit mode.
