PRODUCTION DATA
100BASE-T1 Leader and 100BASE-T1 Follower are configured using either hardware bootstraps or through register access.
LED_0 controls the 100BASE-T1 Leader and 100BASE-T1 Follower bootstrap configuration. By default, 100BASE-T1 Follower mode is configured because there is an internal pulldown resistor on LED_0 pin. If 100BASE-T1 Leader mode configuration through hardware bootstrap is preferred, an external pullup resistor is required.
Additionally, bit[14] in the MMD1_PMA_CTRL_2 Register (Address 0x1834) controls the 100BASE-T1 Leader and 100BASE-T1 Follower configuration. When this bit is set, 100BASE-T1 Leader mode is enabled.
