Hi Bhaskar
I've been thinking about this some more...
Is auto negotiation not supported in 2.5G SGMII in general, or just in the
system you are using? Is it the PHY or the MAC which does not support it.
[bhaskar] 2.5G in general needs to operate with auto negotiation in disabled
mode. Its 2.5G requirement and not specific to our system.
Are we going to get into trouble if we find an 2.5G SGMII link which does
negotiate?
My understanding is that one of the main differences between SGMII and
1000BASE-X is the negotiation.
[Bhaskar] which of SGMII and 1000BASE-X support negotiation ?
