EMAC/MDIO Module
32.2.8.2.4 Example of MDIO Register Access Code
The MDIO module uses the MDIO user access register (USERACCESS
n
) to access the PHY control
registers. Software functions that implement the access process may simply be the following four macros:
• PHYREG_read( regadr, phyadr )
Start the process of reading a PHY register
• PHYREG_write( regadr, phyadr, data )
Start the process of writing a PHY register
• PHYREG_wait( )
Synchronize operation (make sure read/write is idle)
• PHYREG_waitResults( results )
Wait for read to complete and return data read
Note that it is not necessary to wait after a write operation, as long as the status is checked before every
operation to make sure the MDIO hardware is idle. An alternative approach is to call PHYREG_wait() after
every write, and PHYREG_waitResults( ) after every read, then the hardware can be assumed to be idle
when starting a new operation.
The implementation of these macros using the chip support library (CSL) is shown in
(USERACCESS0 is assumed).
Note that this implementation does not check the ACK bit in USERACCESS
n
on PHY register reads (does
not follow the procedure outlined in
). Since the MDIO PHY alive status register (ALIVE)
is used to initially select a PHY, it is assumed that the PHY is acknowledging read operations. It is
possible that a PHY could become inactive at a future point in time. An example of this would be a PHY
that can have its MDIO addresses changed while the system is running. It is not very likely, but this
condition can be tested by periodically checking the PHY state in ALIVE.
