Can I put any PHY in my hardware design and it will likely be supported by the SDK library because
of mostly standard IEEE registers ?
Right now I'm considering those two PHYs chip:
- LSI L-ET1011C2-C-D -> the one chosen for Netra EVM DM8168 designed by Spectrum Digital
- Vitesse VSC8601XKN -> compact chip since it use RGMII interface
I plan to use one of those chip at full 1000base-T speed most of the time.
But would requires it to be compatible at 10 and 100 Mbits/s.
Should I expect issues in future if I choose Vitesse VSC8601XKN ?
Maybe a few registers are non standard and I would requires to write a few read/write functions myself ?
E.g.: for the ACT/LINK LED blinking mode.
Any other compatible PHY chip to suggest to avoid issues with current TI SDK for DaVinci?
