Core Interfaces
MAC Receiver Interface
These signals connect directly to the identically named
Table
Signal | Direction | Description |
|
|
|
rx_data[7:0] | Input | Frame data received is supplied on this port. |
|
|
|
rx_data_valid | Input | Control signal for the rx_data[7:0] port |
|
|
|
rx_frame_good | Input | Asserted at the end of frame reception to indicate |
|
| that the frame should be processed by the |
|
| Ethernet AVB Endpoint core. |
|
|
|
rx_frame_bad | Input | Asserted at the end of frame reception to indicate |
|
| that the frame should be discarded by the MAC |
|
| client. |
|

|
MAC Management Interface
This interface is only present when the core is generated in “Standard CORE Generator Format”, designed for connection to LogiCORE IP
When present, these signals connect directly to the identically named LogiCORE IP Tri- Mode Ethernet MAC signals (except where stated in Table
Table
Signal | Direction | Description |
|
|
|
host_opcode[1:0] | Output | Defines the MAC operation |
|
| (configuration or MDIO, read or write) |
|
|
|
host_addr[9:0] | Output | Address of the MAC register to access |
|
|
|
host_wr_data[31:0] | Output | Data to be written to the MAC register |
|
|
|
host_rd_data_mac[31:0] | Input | Data read from the MAC register (connect |
|
| to the host_rd_data[31:0] signal of the |
|
| MAC) |
|
|
|
host_rd_data_stats[31:0] | Input | Data read from the Ethernet Statistics core |
|
| (connect to the host_rd_data[31:0] signal |
|
| of the Ethernet Statistics core, if present). |
|
| If the statistics core is not used, then |
|
| connect to logic 0. |
|
|
|
host_miim_sel | Output | When asserted, the MAC will access the |
|
| MDIO port, when not asserted, the MAC |
|
| will access configuration registers |
|
|
|
host_req | Output | Used to initiate a transaction onto the |
|
| MDIO |
