TSE without MDIO

[Altera_Forum]

Greetings, 

 I have a board with several Vitesse phys, each one of then with 4 ports. All the phys are connected to my Arria II GX through a SMI bus. So far I've been able to configure the phys, on NIOS (this will be later done by hardware only), through a custom MDIO module connected to some PIOs. The phys are getting link with the link partner (my PC) and the registers says that the MAC side auto-negotiation is complete and link is up. All fine. But when I try to exercise it sending some packets with bittwist from my PC, I see no signal changes on TSE RX pins.  So, I suppose TSE is not properly initialized, but how can it be done since it does not have MDIO to get information from the phys registers?   Is there a way to manually configure\initialize the MAC without MDIO at TSE IP core?  Thank you !!
