2.21.2 Signal Description
Ethernet PHY 1 is connected to FPGA bank E (25 for ZU2/ZU3 and 45 for ZU4/ZU5), for usage with a soft
Ethernet MAC IP core providing RGMII interface for communication with the PHY.
Alternatively, the Ethernet MAC from the PS can be used and mapped to EMIO pins. An GMII to RGMII
converter must be used to convert the bus to the appropriate interface standard. Please note that the Xilinx
GMII to RGMII converter cannot be used on the Mercury XU5 SoC module because this IP core includes I/O
delay macros that are not supported in HD I/O banks (where the Ethernet pins are mapped).
The reset pin of the Ethernet PHY has a pull-down resistor and needs to be driven high to release the PHY
from reset. The reset pin is connected to FPGA pin B10 from bank E (25 for ZU2/ZU3 and 45 for ZU4/ZU5).
The interrupt output of the Ethernet PHY is connected to FPGA pin C11 from the same bank.
2.21.3 External Connectivity
The Ethernet signal lines can be connected directly to the magnetics. Please refer to the Enclustra Module
Pin Connection Guidelines [11] for details regarding the connection of Ethernet signals.
2.21.4 MDIO Address
The MDIO address assigned to PHY 1 is 3, and the PHY can be configured via FPGA pins A10 and B11 from
bank E (25 for ZU2/ZU3 and 45 for ZU4/ZU5).
2.21.5 PHY Configuration
The configuration of the Ethernet PHY is bootstrapped when the PHYs are released from reset. Make sure all
I/Os on the RGMII interface are initialized and all pull-up or pull-down resistors are disabled at that moment.
The bootstrap options of the Ethernet PHYs are set as indicated in Table 33.
