Table 27. AP_VALUE1: Auto-Poll Value1 Register
0@=<%-0=
Offset 0ACh
The contents of this register are cleared to 0 when the
RST pin is asserted. The register is not cleared at the
start of a serial EEPROM read operation or after a se-
rial EEPROM read error.
Table 28. AP_VALUE2: Auto-Poll Value2 Register
0@=<%-0=
Offset 0AEh
The contents of this register are cleared to 0 when the
RST pin is asserted. The register is not cleared at the
start of a serial EEPROM read operation or after a se-
rial EEPROM read error.
Table 29. AP_VALUE3: Auto-Poll Value3 Register
0@=<%"-0="
Offset 0B0h
The contents of this register are cleared to 0 when the
RST pin is asserted. The register is not cleared at the
start of a serial EEPROM read operation or after a se-
rial EEPROM read error.
Table 30. AP_VALUE4: Auto-Poll Value4 Register
0@=<%)-0=)
Offset 0B2h
The contents of this register are cleared to 0 when the
RST pin is asserted. The register is not cleared at the
start of a serial EEPROM read operation or after a se-
rial EEPROM read error.
Table 31. AP_VALUE5: Auto-Poll Value5 Register
0<<4-04
Offset 088h
This register controls the automatic polling of the status
register of the default external PHY.
All bits in this register are set to their default values by
H_RESET. All bits are also set to their default values
before EEPROM data are loaded or after an EEPROM
read failure.
The default value for all bits except for bits 15
(AP_REG0_EN) and 12:8 (AP_REG0_ADDR) is 0.
The default value for AP_REG0_EN is 1 and the default
value for the AP_REG0_ADDR field is 00001b.
When loading the AUTOPOLL0 register from the EE-
PROM, bits [9:5] are also loaded into BCR33 bits [9:5].
This allows operation with legacy drivers that expect
the PHY address in that location.
