Chapter 11: Interfacing to Other Cores

Figure 11-2illustrates the following:

Direct internal connections are made between the GMII interfaces between the two cores.

If the GEMAC has been generated with the optional Management Interface, the MDIO port can be connected up to that of the Ethernet 1000BASE-X PCS/PMA or SGMII core to access its embedded configuration and status registers. See “Using the Optional Management Interface.”

Due to the embedded Receiver Elastic Buffer in the Ethernet 1000BASE-X PCS/PMA or SGMII core, the entire GMII is synchronous to a single clock domain. For this reason, userclk2 is used as the 125 MHz reference clock for both cores and the transmitter and receiver logic of the GEMAC core now operate in the same clock domain. This allows clock crossing constraints between the gtx_clk and gmii_rx_clk clock domains to be removed from the GEMAC UCF. See “Timespecs for Critical Logic within the Core.”
