Hardware Description

3.10Ethernet interface

The Ethernet interface is implemented with a SMC LAN91C111 10/100 Ethernet single-chip MAC and PHY. This is provided with a slave interface to the system bus by the FPGA.

The internal registers of the LAN91C111 are memory-mapped onto the AHB M2 bus and occupy 16 word locations at 0x10010000.

The isolating RJ45 connector incorporates two network status LEDs. The function of the LEDs can be set to indicate link, activity, transmit, receive, full duplex, or 10/100 selection. See the data sheet for the LAN91C111 for more details on programming the registers.

The architecture of the Ethernet interface is shown in Figure 3-28.
