It's very similar to QSGMII, but uses + a Packet Control Header (PCH) instead of the 7 bytes preamble to carry not + only the port id, but also so-called "extensions". The only documented + extension so-far in the specification is the inclusion of timestamps, for + PTP-enabled PHYs. This mode isn't compatible with QSGMII, but offers the + same capabilities in terms of link speed and negociation. + +``PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_1000BASEKX`` + This is 1000BASE-X as defined by IEEE 802.3 Clause 36 with Clause 73 + autonegotiation. Generally, it will be used with a Clause 70 PMD. To + contrast with the 1000BASE-X phy mode used for Clause 38 and 39 PMDs, this + interface mode has different autonegotiation and only supports full duplex. + Pause frames / flow control =========================== |
