14 years ago>> Does this work for non-gigabit speeds?
No, my solution was only for GBit-Ethernet, because my application needs that speed. I ignored 100MBit and lower. Because I don't have a datasheet, I do not know anathing about the special registers of the marvel chip. The regular registers of most PHYs are described in the Xilinx document Ug194.pdf , Chapter 5, MDIO Interface. ( The system does not allow me to post the link here)
