12 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?

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
