For 10 Mbps operation, set the frequency by writing a 1 to MIIGSKCFGR[FRCONT].
The SMII reference clock generates both transmit and receive clocks for the MII interface.
Figure 18-13 and Figure 18-14 show the PHY and MAC connections in SMII mode.

18.7.5.1 Reduced Gigabit Media-Independent Interface (RGMII) Signals
The RGMII is an alternative to the IEEE Std. 802.3u MII, the IEEE Std. 802.3z GMII, and the
TBI. It reduces the number of signal pins that connect the MAC and PHY from a maximum of 26
pins (GMII) to 13 pins (GTX_CLK included). The data paths and all associated control signals
are reduced, control signals are multiplexed, and both edges of the clock are used. Figure 18-15
shows the RGMII connections between the Ethernet controller and a PHY.
