I want to use CPU to read and write the internal registers of BCM53128. Using MDC/MDIO.
How to put BCM53128 MDC/MDIO in slave mode?
Thanks!

Hi Jack,
For BCM53128 MDC/MDIO in slave mode by external CPU/host access,
- use Pseudo-PHY via MDC/MDIO for internal Switch registers access.
- use actual PHY address via MDC/MDIO for internal GPHY registers access.
Please double check with BCM53128 datasheet Section4: Programming Interface: MDC/MDIO Interface: PseudoPHY section descriptions for the detail.
1. strap pin "CPU_EEPRO_SEL" needs set to 1 for Pseudo PHY access.
2. The external CPU/host SW please follow datasheet PseudoPHY section for PseudoPHY MII regstier definitions and read/write flow chart for the PseudoPHY access BCM53128 internal Switch registers, the PHY address is 0x1E.
3. For BCM53128 internal GPHY registers access by external CPU/host via MDC/MDIO, please use actual internal PHY address by MDC/MDIO read/write protocol.
BCM53128 internal GPHY address are as below which be described in datasheet.
- PHY address for Port 0 is 0
- PHY address for Port 1 is 1
- PHY address for Port 2 is 2
- PHY address for Port 3 is 3
- PHY address for Port 4 is 4
- PHY address for Port 5 is 5
- PHY address for Port 6 is 6
- PHY address for Port 7 is 7
Thanks,
