+6) Energy Efficient Ethernet
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Energy Efficient Ethernet(EEE) enables IEEE 802.3 MAC sublayer along
|
|
|
+with a family of Physical layer to operate in the Low power Idle(LPI)
|
|
|
+mode. The EEE mode supports the IEEE 802.3 MAC operation at 100Mbps,
|
|
|
+1000Mbps & 10Gbps.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The LPI mode allows power saving by switching off parts of the
|
|
|
+communication device functionality when there is no data to be
|
|
|
+transmitted & received. The system on both the side of the link can
|
|
|
+disable some functionalities & save power during the period of low-link
|
|
|
+utilization. The MAC controls whether the system should enter or exit
|
|
|
+the LPI mode & communicate this to PHY.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+As soon as the interface is opened, the driver verifies if the EEE can
|
|
|
+be supported. This is done by looking at both the DMA HW capability
|
|
|
+register and the PHY devices MCD registers.
|
|
|
+To enter in Tx LPI mode the driver needs to have a software timer
|
|
|
+that enable and disable the LPI mode when there is nothing to be
|
|
|
+transmitted.
