AM4376: RMIIx_REFCLK

Guru 10295 points

Part Number: AM4376


Hi Support Team,

I would like to make sure the following question.

When using two ports of AM437x Ethernet (RMII), is it necessary
to input 50MHz REFCLK generated by an external oscillator
to RMII1_REFCLK and RMII2_REFCLK respectively?

Figure 15-2 of TRM describes both RMII1_REFCLK and RMII2_REFCLK input to CPSW_3GSS.



Is it possible to input only RMII1_REFCLK to the CPU
and share the same CLK as RMII1_REFCLK for RMII2_REFCLK?

I suppose it is not possible to share the REF_CLK as described
in TRM; Figure 15-1; Ethernet Switch Integration.
Is this understanding correct?

Best regards,
Kanae
