Using PHY with RMII interface on Cyclone V SoC

Hi I have added a second PHY to my board and connected it through the FPGA IO. I will use one of the HPS EMACs. The PHY is a 100Mb device with a RMII interface (not RGMII). What is the recommended...

    Hi,

    I checked HPS EMAC spec as per attachment.

    RMII is not supported in Cyclone V SOC. Yup, you need to write your own adaptor design if you insist to use it on CV.

    Alternatively, you can switch to Arria 10 SOC or Stratix 10 SOC that support RMII.

    Thanks.
