How to provide different clock for PHY Device

My board DE2-115 

My PHY Device:88E1111 

 

My project is about simple socket server.Now I can send words or command via Telnet or Ping, when I use a router(100Mbps). 

But, when I directly connect the board and PC with a cross-over cable , I failed. 

Then when I fix my pc for 100Mbps and connect the board and PC with a cross-over cable, I succeed. 

So if I want to use 1000Mbps, what should I do ? 

I know I need to provide different clock to Marvell 88E1111 PHY Device for different speed. Such as 2.5MHz for 10mbps/ 25MHz for 100mbps /125MHz for 1000mbps. 

 

Who can tell me how to change the clock and where to change the clock,provided for phy device. 

 

It is the first time for me to post a thread, I hope that somebody could help me to solve this problem.

Use example projects and search for file mii_gmii_mux.vhd. Or You can write Your own clock mux.

Dear Socrates, thanks for your reply. 

I find the file GMII_MII_MUX.v 

But I still don't know how to change these codes.They are as follows:

Can you tell me what should I do to get 125MHz for PHY Device and then enable the 1000Mbps? 

 

Have a good day,Socrates.

Just look at the top level file in the example project and do the same in yours.

Can I get 125MHz by changing GMII_MII_MUX.v?

DO NOT TOUCH CONTENTS OF THAT FILE. Usually, it is already read-only. 

 

You have to generate 125MHz Yourself and supply that clock to the mii/gmii mux core. It's simple to read comments and undestand how it work. Do that instead of asking in forum. Ask here things that You can't get running, but not things, that You don't understand.

What I used is just the example project, but it didn't work when fix my pc for 1000Mbps. 

So i want to change the colck, provided for PHY Device, from 25Mhz to 125Mhz. 

However, I don't know how to change it in GMII_MII_MUX.v.

The clock ,provided for PHY Device and determine the transfer speed&#65292;is GTX_CLK or something else?

In Ethernet RX PLL, the inclk--enet_rx_clk is 125MHz, the outclk--c2(enet_tx_clk_phy) is also 125MHz. And enet_tx_clk_phy is the outclock of ddr_o phy_ckgen .As follows: 

*************************************** 

ddr_o phy_ckgen 

.datain_h(1'b1), 

.datain_l(1'b0), 

.outclock(enet_tx_clk_phy), 

.dataout(enet_gtx_clk) 

); 

// Ethernet RX PLL 

enet_rx_clk_pll enet_rx_clk_pll 

.inclk0(enet_rx_clk), 

.c0(enet_rx_clk_270deg), 

.c1(enet_tx_clk_mac), 

.c2(enet_tx_clk_phy) 

); 

**************************************** 

I was really confused why 1000Mbps isn't work.

Hi Socrates,I have changed the output clock of PLL to 125Mhz, provided for MAC. But 1000Mbps is still failed. 

When you do something about ethernet, what did you do to enable 10Mbps and 100Mbps and 1000Mbps. You switch them by changing what? 

Hope for your reply.

The PHY provides that. Download and examine examples from Altera.

My project is just provided by Altera. 

My SOPC is WEB_SERVER(rgmii) provided by CD of DE2-115. 

MY software is simple_socket_server(RGMII) 

I need to change something in SOPCBuilder or top level file? The datasheet of 88E1111 show me that the frequency, provided for PHY, is changed automatically.  

When it is 1000Mbps, we get 125Mhz. 

When it is 100Mbps, we get 25Mhz.

That's true, but afaik You need GMII, not RGMII?

Oh, just checked, that You use DE115. Then it's RGMII there.

It depends, check the motherboard or Your ethernet card specs.

When I conect my board and PC, the ENET0 LED1000 is bright. Does that mean my PC support 1000Mbps

I'd say yes, the board PHY recognize the 1Gbit link.
