How to connect LS1043A to a Switch using RGMII

[danielzdh]

Our design needs to connect a switch chip with the rgmii interface of LS1043A. The MARVELL 88E6390 11 port GE Switch is connected to EC2 using RGMII. We don't know how to connect the RGMII signals. 

Option A：

88E_INCLK---------------EC2_GTX_CLK

88E_IND[3:0]-------------EC2_TXD[3:0]

88E_INDV-----------------EC2_TX_EN

88E_OUTCLK------------EC2_RX_CLK

88E_OUTD[3:0]----------EC2_RXD[3:0]

88E_OUTEN--------------EC2_RX_DV

Option B：

88E_INCLK---------------EC2_RX_CLK

88E_IND[3:0]-------------EC2_RXD[3:0]

88E_INDV-----------------EC2_RX_DV

88E_OUTCLK------------EC2_GTX_CLK

88E_OUTD[3:0]----------EC2_TXD[3:0]

88E_OUTEN--------------EC2_TX_EN

Which option is correct and why?

Please provide the Switch Data Sheet.

The Data Sheet has been added to the attachment of the question. Thank you！

From the provided data sheet:

88E6390 Signal	RGMII function
P0_INCLK	RXC
P0_INDV	RX_CTL
P0_IND[3:0]	RXD[3:0]
P0_OUTCLK	TXC
P0_OUTEN	TX_CTL
P0_OUTD[3:0]	TXD[3:0]

So option A is correct.

Thank you for your reply, but according to the reference design(MPC-LS Vehicle Network Processing reference design), the connection between ls1043a and ksz9031 uses the scheme of Option B.

Therefore, when Option A should be adopted and when Option B should be adopted?
