Register 16: Ethernet PHY MDIX (MDIX), offset 0x044
This register enables the transmit and receive lines to be reversed in order to implement the
MDI/MDI-X functionality. Software can implement the MDI/MDI-X configuration by using any available
timer resource such as SysTick (see “System Timer (SysTick)” on page 97 for more information)
to implement this functionality. Once the Ethernet Controller has been configured and enabled,
software should check to see if the LINK bit in the MR1 register has been set within approximately
1 s; if not, set the EN bit of the MDIX register to switch the reverse the transmit and receive lines to
the PHY layer. Software should check the LINK bit again after approximately another 1 s and if no
link has been established, the EN bit should be cleared. Software must continue to change the
termination back and forth by setting and clearing the EN bit every 1 s until a link is established.

compatibility with future products, the value of a reserved bit should be
preserved across a read-modify-write operation.

16.7 MII Management Register Descriptions
The IEEE 802.3 standard specifies a register set for controlling and gathering status from the PHY
layer. The registers are collectively known as the MII Management registers. The Ethernet MAC
Management Control (MACMCTL) register is used to access the MII Management registers, see
page 786. All addresses given are absolute. Addresses not listed are reserved; these addresses
should not be written to and any data read should be ignored. Also see “Ethernet MAC Register
Descriptions” on page 770.
