LogiCORE Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC v8.2 rev 1 and earlier - MDIOREADY can go high before MDIO RX DATA updates

描述

AXI4-Lite register 0x50C can indicate MDIOREADY high without updating MDIO RX Data if the AXI4-Lite read happens immediately after the completion of the MDIO read cycle. 

The solution below contains a workaround and instructions for downloading a tactical patch with a fix. 
 
This fix will also be contained in Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC v8.3 scheduled for 2014.3 and later versions of the core.

解决方案

Workaround

The MDIO ready signal is also available in register 0x504 bit 7.  

Instead of polling MDIO ready in register 0x50C and then reading the MDIO read data at the same time, the following steps could be used to work around this issue:

  1. Register 0x504 can be polled for MDIO ready to go high (bit 7).
    then
  2. Register 0x50C can be read to get the MDIO read data.


Patch

This tactical patch contains the v8.2 rev2 tactical patch which fixes this issue:
