The AXI Ethernet Lite MAC supports the IEEE Std. 802.3 Media Independent Interface (MII) to industry standard Physical Layer (PHY) devices and communicates to a processor via AXI4 or AXI4-Lite interface. The design provides a 10 megabits per second (Mbps) and 100 Mbps (also known as Fast Ethernet) Interface, delivering the minimal functions necessary to provide an Ethernet interface with the least resources used.

• Not tested

Features

• Parameterized AXI slave interface based on the AXI4 or AXI4-Lite specification
• Media Independent Interface (MII) for connection to external 10/100 Mbps PHY transceivers
• Independent internal 2K byte Tx and Rx dual port memory for holding data for one packet
• Optional MDIO interface for PHY access
