Direct MII connection between MPC8313 and VIRTEX FPGA

[Frank Prepelica]

Hi all,

we removed the ethernet PHYs (MARVELL) from our customized board (based on MPC8313ERDB) and 
connected the CPU Ethernet lines directly to a FPGA which is now emulating the PHY. But the ifconfig 
command cannot find that eth device anymore. Does the emulated PHY needs to provide MDIO 
information that the ETH device can be found again?

Any help is very appreciated

Best regards
Frank
