Intel Xeon D1500 10GbE LAN configuration - PHY/PCS registers

Hi,

for Intel Xeon D1500 family I found only 4 datasheets, in one of them, https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/xeon/xeon-d-1500-datasheet-vol-4.html https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/xeon/xeon-d-1500-datasheet-vol-4.html there are some information about LAN configuration, but not enough. I need access to PHY/PCS registers of 10GbE interfaces. There is a link to Appendix B, but there is no register map or other access mode (like MDIO). There is also chapter 8.2.2.11.1 "PHY Indirect Data" and 8.2.2.11.2 "PHY Indirect Control" but there is no explanation what is "16bit address" and no information how to access certain PHY registers. Is there available any other document which describes PHY/PCS registers and access method?

Best regards,

Ryszard

Hello Leonardo,

unfortunately I have not found information I need.

Under

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/embedded/products/broadwell-de/documentation.html https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/embedded/products/broadwell-de/documentation.html

there is some documentation, but many links are broken and no information relevant to my needs (10GbE LAN configuration).

I need comprehensive information about control of 10GbE LAN (configuration registers, setting of loopbacks, PRBS generator/checker etc.). Could you please provide specifications which will cover my needs.

Best regards,

Ryszard
