11 years ago --- Quote Start --- Is it true that regardless of the actual PHY chip, the mdio interface is common, and the device specific initialization is done in software? If so, couldn't an existing built-in qsys component (ex. LAN91C111) be instantiated, but registers initialized for the DM9000A? EDIT: Since these chips have MACs built-in to them, why is another MAC (Altera's TSE) added into the system design... how does that even work? --- Quote End --- Hi happy, Where can I find LAN91C111 qsys component ? Is it ported to new quartus version ? Your statement about mdio does make sens. I don't see Altera TSE mac in the design that I posted. Best, madness
