The Ethernet PHYs are clocked with 25 MHz using a 1:10 LVCMOS clock generator. It is a clock buffer, which takes 25-MHz crystal/LVCMOS reference input and provides ten 25-MHz LVCMOS clock outputs.
The source for the clock buffer can be either the MCU_CLKOUT0 signal from the AM65x processor or a 25-MHz oscillator (default). This selection can be made through the select lines of the clock buffer by using the resistor options as shown in Table 3-1. In addition, the pinmux for pin AB3 must be modified to select the MCU_CLKOUT0 function. This function is not present when the part is removed from reset. If MCU_CLKOUT0 is used, the Ethernet boot mode for the AM645x cannot be used.
When MCU_CLKOUT0 is used as the source for the clock buffer, resistor R129 must be mounted.
