Table 25. PHY Acknowledge Status Register (ALIVE) Field Descriptions
Bit | Field | Value | Description |
|
|
|
|
ALIVE | MDIO Alive bits. Each of the 32 bits of this register is set if the most recent access to the PHY with | ||
|
|
| address corresponding to the register bit number was acknowledged by the PHY; the bit is reset if |
|
|
| the PHY fails to acknowledge the access. Both the user and polling accesses to a PHY will cause |
|
|
| the corresponding alive bit to be updated. The alive bits are only meant to be used to give an |
|
|
| indication of the presence or not of a PHY with the corresponding address. Writing a 1 to any bit |
|
|
| will clear it, writing a 0 has no effect. |
|
| 0 | The PHY fails to acknowledge the access. |
|
| 1 | The most recent access to the PHY with an address corresponding to the register bit number was |
|
|
| acknowledged by the PHY. |

LINK | MDIO Link state bits. This register is updated after a read of the generic status register of a PHY. | ||
|
|
| The bit is set if the PHY with the corresponding address has link and the PHY acknowledges the |
|
|
| read transaction. The bit is reset if the PHY indicates it does not have link or fails to acknowledge |
|
|
| the read transaction. Writes to the register have no effect. |
|
| 0 | The PHY indicates it does not have a link or fails to acknowledge the read transaction |
|
| 1 | The PHY with the corresponding address has a link and the PHY acknowledges the read |
|
|
| transaction. |
