Honored ContributorHi,
I am trying to send data from Cyclone III development board to another (same) board using Ethernet connection. Data is transmitted successfully from the sending board to the receiving one. My question is: Is it possible to connect the two boards without enabling the MDIO option in the TSE MAC? Thanks in advance Best Regards
Honored ContributorTheorically yes, so You would control the PHY by Yourself. But why do You want to disable it? The core won't be able to communicate with the PHY, e.g. set required registers, reset the PHY, etc...
Honored ContributorHonored ContributorWell yes, but still You have to control the PHY. MDIO has nothing to do with the transmission itself.
Honored Contributorwhy do you want to remove mdio?
Franz WagnerHonored ContributorHonored Contributori did the same thing but i conect one of mdio and not conect the other.....
... you can hack this by software.... Franz WagnerHonored ContributorHonored Contributorat my case i configure 2 phys with the same mdio....
