2.8 Register Access

The MDIO interface allows users to access the Switch internal registers and MII registers. The figure

shown below is the format to access MII registers in the embedded PHY. The PHY address is from

0x00 up to 0x04. The Op code “10” indicates the read command and “01” is the write command.

The Switch internal registers are 32-bits wide, but the MDIO access is only 16-bits wide. So it needs 2

times access to complete the internal registers access. Moreover the address spacing is more than 10

bits supported by MDIO, So it needs to write the upper address bits to internal registers, like page

mode access method. For example, the register address bit 18 to 9 are treated as page address and will

be written out first as High_addr[9:0], refer the Table 1 below. Then the register could be accessed via

Tables 2, where Low_addr[7:1] is the address bit [8:2] of register and Low_add[0] is 0 for Data[15:0] or

Low_addr[0] is 1 for Data[31:16].

1. First, write high-address command.

Where High_Addr[9:0] is address[18:9] for register, as follows:

2. Second, read/write 32 bit register data

command.

Table 2: where Low_Addr[7:1] is address [8:2] of register and Low_Addr[0] is 0 for Data[15:0], 1 for

Data[31:16]
