Media Independent Interface (MII) to External Ethernet Block
The media independent interface (MII) allows the CPRI v6.0 IP core to communicate directly with an
external Ethernet MAC block. If you turn on Enable IEEE 802.3 100BASE-X 100Mbps MII in the CPRI
v6.0 parameter editor, your IP core includes this interface.
The MII supports the bandwidth described in the CPRI v6.0 Specification in Table 12, Achievable
Ethernet bit rates, up to the CPRI line bit rate of 3.072 Gbps (maximum Ethernet bit rate of 105.6 Mbps).
Table 3-11: MII Signals
These signals are available if you turn on Enable IEEE 802.3 100BASE-X 100Mbps MII in the CPRI v6.0
parameter editor. You can connect a user-defined Ethernet MAC to this interface.
The interface is fully compliant to the IEEE 802.3 100BASE-X 100Mbps MII specification. An Ethernet PCS block
in the CPRI v6.0 IP core ensures the interface bandwidth matches the current CPRI line bit rate and accesses data
at the correct CPRI frame positions according to the Z.194.0 pointer value.
You must monitor the MII FIFO status signals and ensure you do not overflow or underflow the FIFO.
The interface signals are clocked by the
mii_rxclk
or
mii_txclk
clock.

mii_rxclk
Input
Clocks the MII receiver interface. You must drive this
clock at the frequency of 25 MHz to achieve the 100 Mbps
bandwidth required for this interface.
