Two Port 10/100 Managed Ethernet Switch with 16-Bit Non-PCI CPU Interface

Datasheet

8-bits number_of_bursts repeat (number_of_bursts)

16-bits {starting_address[9:2] / count[7:0]} repeat (count)

8-bits data[31:24], 8-bits data[23:16], 8-bits data[15:8], 8-bits data[7:0]

Note: The starting address is a DWORD address. Appending two 0 bits will form the register address.

As an example, the following is a 3 burst sequence, with 1, 2, and 3 DWORDs starting at register addresses 40h, 80h, and C0h respectively:

A5h, (Burst Sequence Valid Flag) 3h, (number_of_bursts)

16{10h, 1h}, (starting_address1 divided by 4 / count1) 11h, 12h, 13h, 14h, (4 x count1 of data)

16{20h, 2h}, (starting_address2 divided by 4 / count2)

21h, 22h, 23h, 24h, 25h, 26h, 27h, 28h, (4 x count2 of data) 16{30h, 3h}, (starting_address3 divided by 4 / count3)

31h, 32h, 33h, 34h, 35h, 36h, 37h, 38h, 39h, 3Ah, 3Bh, 3Ch (4 x count3 of data)

In order to avoid overwriting the Switch CSR register interface or the PHY Management Interface (PMI), the EEPROM Loader waits until the CSR Busy bit of the Switch Fabric CSR Interface Command Register (SWITCH_CSR_CMD) and the MII Busy bit of the PHY Management Interface Access Register (PMI_ACCESS) are cleared before performing any register write.

The EEPROM Loader checks that the EEPROM address space is not exceeded. If so, it will stop and set the EEPROM Loader Address Overflow bit in the EEPROM Command Register (E2P_CMD). The address limit is based on the eeprom_size_strap which specifies a range of sizes. The address limit is set to the largest value of the specified range.

10.2.4.6EEPROM Loader Finished Wait-State

Once finished with the last burst, the EEPROM Loader will go into a wait-state and the EPC_BUSY bit of the EEPROM Command Register (E2P_CMD) will be cleared.

10.2.4.7Reset Sequence and EEPROM Loader

In order to allow the EEPROM Loader to change the Port 1/2 PHYs and Virtual PHY strap inputs and maintain consistency with the PHY and Virtual PHY registers, the following sequence is used:

1.After power-up or upon a hardware reset (nRST), the straps are sampled into the LAN9311/LAN9311i as specified in Section 15.5.2, "Reset and Configuration Strap Timing," on page 446.

2.After the PLL is stable, the main chip reset is released and the EEPROM Loader reads the EEPROM and configures (overrides) the strap inputs.

3.The EEPROM Loader writes select Port 1/2 and Virtual PHY registers, as specified in Section 10.2.4.4.1 and Section 10.2.4.4.2, respectively.

Note: Step 3 is also performed in the case of a RELOAD command or digital reset.
