Reading from the DM9000A at 100 MHz

hi, 

 

i am trying to read data from the DM9000A (on the DE2 evaluation board) to the NIOS II, which is easy at 50 MHz but i have since overclocked to 100 MHz. writing to the DM9000A seems to be working normally, i.e. i can transmit packets from the NIOS without trouble, but reading from these registers does not seem to be giving me valid data, i can only assume these problems are related to the clock speed? 

 

has anyone used the DM9000A at a speed higher than 50 MHz or have any ideas? (to clarify...i am clocking the DM9000A at 25 MHz, but the IORD calls are clocking at 100 MHz)

How did you manage to write at 100MHz? Are there some register settings needed?

hi, have you solved the problem? I have met the same question, and i don't know why.
