Hi:

In the  imx6Q processor ethernet application,we want to connected it to a external ethernet switch mac to mac directly in RGMII mode.

I'm facing an issue with hardware design,if the processor can support this way and what we should take a attention in the design(just like the clock and data line sequence...).

Thanks!

Hi guojun 

yes it is supported, one can look at considerations provided on

Direct MAC-MAC connection to Ethernet switch without a PHY 

Best regards

OK,thanks for your reply!

Besides,in RGMII mode,if we can use of GPIO_16 of imx6q as a clock
source output to RGMII_CLK(ENET_REF_CLK)? or the 

125 MHz external oscillator is necessary?

Thanks!
