I/O Signals
Signal
Direction
Description
RX_P, RX_N
Input
IOD CDR receive signals connected to the VSC PHY transmit
data signals.
TX_P, TX_N
Output
IOD CDR transmit signals connected to the VSC PHY receive
data signals.
REFCLK_N,
REFCLK_P
Input
125 MHz input clock received from the on-board ZL30364 and
fed to NWC_PLL_0.
RESET_N
Input
Active low Mi-V reset. Asserted by pressing the on-board K22
push-button.
REF_CLK_0
Input
50 MHz input clock received from the on-board 50 MHz
oscillator and fed to PF_CCC_0.
TCK, TDI, TMS,
TRSTB
Input
JTAG signals interfaced to the soft processor for debugging.
LINK_OK
Output
Link status indicator. Provides the link
up
or
down
status with
the on-board PHY. This signal is mapped to on-board LED7.
The LED ON condition indicates that the link is up
.
PHY_RST
Output
Active high reset signal to the on-board VSC8575 PHY.
PHY_MDC
Output
Management Data IO clock fed to the on-board VSC8575 PHY.
PHY_MDIO
Output
Management Data IO Interface for accessing the on-board
VSC8575 PHY registers.
coma_mode
Output
Signal held low to keep the VSC PHY fully active when it is out
of reset.
