Control Bit

Effect on Control Bits

 

 

CTRL.FD

Duplex is set by software for the desired mode of operation

 

 

CTRL.SLU

Set by software

 

 

CTRL.RFCE

Set by software for the desired mode of operation

 

 

CTRL.TFCE

Set by software for the desired mode of operation

 

 

CTRL.SPEED

No impact; speed always 1000 Mb/s in Internal SerDesa mode

STATUS.FD

Reflects the value of CTRL.FD

 

 

STATUS.LU

Reflects CTRL.SLU and internal link indication

 

 

STATUS.SPEED

Internal SerDesa Mode is always 1000 Mb/s; fixed at 10b

a. TBI for the 82544GC/EI.

8.6.4Internal PHY Mode Control Bit Resolution

Tables 8-6, 8-7, 8-8, and 8-9list how Auto-Negotiation affects control bits in the Ethernet Controller.

Refer to IEEE 802.3z, clause 37 for information related duplex and flow control link resolution per the 802.3z Auto-Negotiation method. The Ethernet controller fully complies to the specified resolution functions.

CTRL.FRCSPD = CTRL.ASDE = CTRL.FRCDPLX = 0b

 

Control Bit

Effect on Control Bits

 

 

 

 

 

CTRL.FD

Duplex is set per internal signal after link up assertion by PHY.

 

 

 

 

 

CTRL.SLU

Software should set to allow PHY to control.

 

 

 

 

 

CTRL.RFCE

Must be set by software after reading flow control resolution from MII

 

registers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CTRL.TFCE

Must be set by software after reading flow control resolution from MII

 

registers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CTRL.SPEED

Ignored; no impact on speed.

 

 

 

 

 

STATUS.FD

Reflects the value of CTRL.FD as above.

 

 

 

 

 

STATUS.LU

Reflects link status and SLU set.

 

 

 

 

 

STATUS.SPEED

Speed status bits reflect speed resolved from speed indication inputs from

 

PHY.
