14.2.8.6Virtual PHY Auto-Negotiation Link Partner Base Page Ability Register (VPHY_AN_LP_BASE_ABILITY)

Offset:

1D4h

Size:

32 bits

Index (decimal):

5

 

 

This read-only register contains the advertised ability of the link partner’s PHY and is used in the Auto- Negotiation process with the Virtual PHY. Because the Virtual PHY does not physically connect to an actual link partner, the values in this register are emulated as described below.
