Intel GD82559, U11, 10/100 Ethernet Controller
Intel GD82559 Ethernet Controller
The GD82559 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet controller with an integrated 10/100 Mbps
physical layer device for PCI board LAN designs. It is designed for use in Network
Interface Cards (NICs), PC LAN On Motherboard (LOM) designs, embedded systems and
networking system products. It consists of both the Media Access Controller (MAC) and
the physical layer (PHY) interface combined into a single component solution. The 82559
can operate in either full duplex or half duplex mode.The GD82559 also includes an
interface to a serial (4-pin) EEPROM and a parallel interface to a 128 Kilobyte Flash
memory. The EEPROM provides power-on initialization for hardware and software
configuration parameters.
The ML310 board utilizes the 82559 10/100 Ethernet capability via FPGA PCI host bridge
accesses over the PCI Bus. The 82559 is only accessible over the PCI bus, this includes
programming of its power-on initialization EEPROM. The GD82559’s EEPROM is pre
programmed on each ML310 with a unique MAC address. The ML310 MAC address is
identified by the mylar label near the RJ45 connector labeled "ETH0 MAC ADDR". Please
