RM0008 Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller

SMI clock selection
The MAC initiates the Management Write/Read operation. The SMI clock is a divided clock
whose source is the application clock (AHB clock). The divide factor depends on the clock
range setting in the MII Address register.
Table 207 shows how to set the clock ranges.
29.4.2 Media-independent interface: MII
The media-independent interface (MII) defines the interconnection between the MAC
sublayer and the PHY for data transfer at 10 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s.
