Hi Johi,

I don't have easy access to Skype. Is it something you could post? I'm trying to setup the Max 10 Devel Kit using the "small" 10/100 EMAC mode which uses MII only. All the examples are for Gigabit and the full EMAC and it is not clear how to change it without the Phy datasheet.

Very frustrating that Marvell makes it difficult to use their chip. Open letter to vendors (I'm sure this will cause them to take immediate action :-).

Dear Devel Board Vendors,

Please stop using chips from customer HOSTILE vendors like Marvell that seem to think it is a good idea to make life miserable for anyone wanting to buy their products. Many of us tend to use the same chips as the devel board on our own custom boards but cannot do so with a hostile vendor like Marvell.
