Part 9: Gigabit Ethernet Interface

There are 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports on the AXKU040 FPGA Development
board. The GPHY chip uses Micrel's KSZ9031RNX Ethernet PHY chip to
provide users with network communication services. The KSZ9031RNX chip
supports 10/100/1000 Mbps network transmission rate, and communicates
with the MAC layer of the system through the RGMII interface. KSZ9031RNX
supports MDI/MDX adaptation, various speed adaptation, Master/Slave
adaptation, and supports MDIO bus for PHY register management.
When the KSZ9031RNX is powered on, it will detect the level status of
some specific IOs to determine its own operating mode. Table 3-5-1 describes
the default settings after the GPHY chip is powered on.

When the network is connected to Gigabit Ethernet, the data transmission
of FPGA chip and PHY chip KSZ9031RNX is communicated through the RGMII
bus, the transmission clock is 125Mhz, and the data is sampled on the rising
edge and falling samples of the clock.
When the network is connected to 100M Ethernet, the data transmission of
FPGA chip and PHY chip KSZ9031RNX is communicated through RMII bus,
and the transmission clock is 25Mhz. Data is sampled on the rising edge and
falling samples of the clock.
