2.3.4Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface (RGMII) Connections

Figure 5 shows a device with integrated EMAC and MDIO interfaced via a RGMII connection. This interface is available in 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps modes.

The RGMII interface is a reduced pin alternative to the GMII interface. The data paths are reduced, control signals are multiplexed together, and both edges of the clock are used.

The RGMII interface does not include a MCOL and a MCRS signal for half-duplex mode (only available in 10/100 Mbps mode).

Carrier sense (MCRS) is indicated by one of the following cases instead:

MRXDV signal (multiplexed in the RXCTL signal) is true

MRXDV is false, MRXERR (multiplexed in the RXCTL signal) is true, and a value of FFh exists on the RXD[7:0] simultaneously
