SPRUIM6A October 2018 – November 2020
ISSUE: Initially the Ethernet PHY was strapped to enable the EEE mode. Pin strapping for this mode is not working correctly due to an issue with the PHY. The strapping was changed to disable the EEE mode and enable the auto negotiation.
SOLUTION: The values of the pulling resistors for the RX_CTRL signal are modified to the values for mode 3. See the data manual of the Ethernet PHY for more details.
WORKAROUND: Change R145, R98, and R554 to 5.76K ohm 1% resistors. Change R146, R99, and R553 to 2.94K ohm 1% resistors.
