GbE Capabilities and Status Offset 20 (MDIC) – Offset 20
Bit Range | Default | Access | Field Name and Description |
---|---|---|---|
31 | 0h | RW/V | Wait (WAIT) Set to 1 by the Gigabit Ethernet Controller to indicate that a PCI Express* to SMBus transition is taking place. The ME/Host should not issue new MDIC transactions while this bit is set to 1. This bit is auto cleared by hardware after the transition has occurred. |
30 | 0h | RW/V | Error (E) Set to 1 by the Gigabit Ethernet Controller when it fails to complete an MDI read. |
29 | 0h | RW/V | Interrupt Enable (I) When set to 1 by software, it will cause an Interrupt to be asserted to indicate the end of an MDI cycle. |
28 | 1h | RW/V | Ready Bit (R) Set to 1 by the Gigabit Ethernet Controller at the end of the MDI |
27:26 | 0h | RW/V | MDI Type (OP) 01 = MDI Write[BR] |
25:21 | 0h | RW/V | LAN Connected Device Address (PHYADD)
|
20:16 | 0h | RW/V | LAN Connected Device Register Address (REGADD)
|
15:0 | 0h | RW/V | Data (DATA) In a Write command, software places the data bits and the MAC shifts them out to the LAN Connected Device. In a Read command, the MAC reads these bits serially from the LAN Connected Device and software can read them from this location. |
