Connecting 2 TSE (with micrel PHY) each other: Link down

Nothing!! I checked my TSE configuration, Promise_en=0, TSE_CRTL_FRM_ENA=1 but any frame reach user RX side.. I programmed a TSE_MAC address with a dummy one , as per 0xFFEEDDBBCCAA but any frames passes.

My HW settings are:

Quartus 18.1 std version

GMII/MII only (Arria10)

10/100/1000 Ethernet Mac

8 bit interface

Fifos enabled, 4096 bytes

Mac 10/100 fdpx, local loopback, include stat counters, enable flow control ENABLED

Mac Primary programmed

And for SW settings
