37.5.11.3 Signature Field
The only way the MAC has to tell if an EEPROM is present is by trying to read the
EEPROM. The MAC will first read the Initialization Control Word 1. It will check the
received value for bits 15 and 14. If bit 15 is 0 and bit 14 is 1, it considers the EEPROM
to be present and valid and will read additional EEPROM words and program its internal
registers based on the values read. Otherwise, it will ignore the values it read from the
Initialization Control Word 1 and not read any other words.
37.5.11.4 EEPROM Map
Note:
If any one of the GbE interfaces is disabled then the corresponding memory locations in
the EEPROM for that device must be initialized to all ‘0’s.
The following table indicates the EEPROM map to be used.
