Table 1. GEM Controller MII and GMII Interface Signals via EMIO
Signal Name Ref Clock I/O Description
Miscellaneous Signals
GMII_speed_mode[3:0] O Speed mode
Receive Signals
GMII_rx_clk I

Receive clock from the system clock generator:

• 125 MHz for gigabit GMII operation.

• 25 MHz for 100M operation.

• 2.5 MHz for 10M operation.

GMII_rx_crs GMII_rx_clk I Carrier sense from the PHY.
GMII_rx_col GMII_rx_clk I Collision detection from the PHY.
GMII_rx_rxd[7:0] GMII_rx_clk I

Receive data from the PHY:

• 10/100 mode: rxd[3:0] used, rxd[7:4] not used.

• 1000 mode: rxd[7:0] used.

GMII_rx_dv GMII_rx_clk I Receive data valid signal from the PHY.
GMII_rx_er GMII_rx_clk I Receive error signal from the PHY.
Transmit Signals
GMII_tx_clk I

Transmit clock from the system clock generator.

• 125 MHz for gigabit operation

• 25 MHz for 100M operation

• 2.5 MHz for 10M operation

GMII_txd[7:0] GMII_tx_clk O

Transmit data to the PHY.

10/100 mode: txd[3:0] used, txd[7:4] tied to logic 0.

1000 mode: txd[7:0] used.

GMII_tx_en GMII_tx_clk O Transmit enable to the PHY
GMII_tx_er GMII_tx_clk O Transmit frame error signal to PHY.

Asserted if the DMA block fails to fetch data from memory during frame transmission.
