32.4 Signal Interface
The ETH Controller module includes the following signal interfaces:
- MII, RMII, and GMII to an external PHY
- MDIO interface for external PHY management
- Client APB interface for accessing GMAC registers
- Host AXI interface for memory access
- GTSUCOMP signal for TSU timer count value comparison
