Hardware Description

The controller uses a local VL-Bus host interface with a bridge to the AHB bus provided by the FPGA. The FPGA generates the appropriate access control signals for the host side of the Ethernet controller. The VL-Bus is a synchronous bus that supports 32-bit accesses.

The LAN91C111 is a little-endian device. The default configuration for the system bus is also little-endian. If you configure the system bus for big-endian operation you must perform half-word and byte swapping in software.

A serial EEPROM provides the following parameters to the LAN91C111 at reset:

the individual MAC address, that is, the Ethernet MAC address

Media Independent Interface (MII) interface configuration

register base address.

When the PB926EJ-S is manufactured, an ARM value for the Ethernet MAC address and the register base address are loaded into the EEPROM. The register base address is

0.A unique MAC address is programmed at manufacture, but the address can be reprogrammed if required. Reprogramming of the EEPROM is done through Bank 1 (general and control registers).
