Section D — Registers, configuration, and software (20 points) 10. (6 pts) A register map shows a control register at address 0x00 with bits: bit 15 = reset (self-clearing), bit 12 = speed select (0=10/100, 1=1000), bit 8 = loopback enable. Describe initialization sequence after power-up to enable Gigabit mode, bring the device out of reset, and enable auto-negotiation. 11. (8 pts) Explain how MDIO/MDC transactions read a 16-bit register: outline preamble, start, opcode, PHY address, reg address, turnaround, and data phases. Give the bit lengths for each field per Clause 22. 12. (6 pts) Provide a short algorithm (pseudocode) to poll link status with exponential backoff: check up to 6 times, starting delay 100 ms doubling each attempt, stop early if link is up.
