MII PHY Registers

{

for (i = 0;i < 17;i++) togLH(MCLK);

tmp = 0xffff;

}

//togLH

b &= ~MCLK; outp(diodata,b); b = MCLK; outp(diodata,b); b = inp(diodata);

This is the quiescent cycle following data transmission. Since this is a read op- eration, ThunderLAN does not drive the line and the PHY turns off during this cycle. If the quiescent cycle is not performed between the read and write op- erations, the PHY is not able to assert the MDIO pin low to indicate a PHY inter- rupt. After this cycle and a read, the driver sets the MINTEN bit high, which en- ables PHY interrupts.

set(MINTEN);

*pval = tmp;

CritOff();

The function value returned is reserved for completion and error codes, and is returned via a pointer. CritOff turns on the interrupts again and is defined as:

#define CritOff() if (±±CritLevel == 0) \

{ _asm { sti } }

A similar routine with similar code is used to write values into the PHY registers through the management interface.
