SMII Frame format queries

Apr 27, 2005 0 Replies

Hi, In SMII specs, it says for TXD frame format, PHYS use it for conveying only packet data, meaning during idle period between frames, contents is dont care and would be ignored by MAC.



In MAC-MAC mode,MAC can transmit Status information. But the frame format shows the values for 100Mbit, Fullduplex hardcoded to '1'. Does this mean, in MAC-MAC connectivity, only Full duplex 100MBit mode is supported?



Any help here would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks, Desik.
