Hello,
I'm working on developing a PHY driver for the DP83TC812S-Q1 chip. I had a question about accessing registers (via MDIO).
From the functional mode description in the datasheet, after a RESET or power up, the CHIP will enter into STANDBY state.
1. How can I verify that the device is in STANDBY state?
2. From the datasheet, in STANDBY state, SMI/MDIO functions are supposed to be operational. Does this mean that register reads/writes via MDIO will work in this state?
Thanks,
Akshay
