  Hi! this is KMDATA in KOREA.
  I’ll assign 2 RGMII to 2 PHY each.
  So there is no address bus available(Because RGMII2 take the address pins).
  But the chip, I want to use is DM9000(ethernet controller), this chip has command based data bus interface, no address pins required.
  And this is my question, is it a possible schem?
  Does address pins can be used as RGMII, even though at external memory access cycles?
  Because of my lack of English, I’ll attach block diagram.
  Thankyou!
  Kang

  Jeff,
  Please see the following inputs for your design:
  1. It looks like TI does not support the PHY you are using: https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors/f/processors-forum/973865/am3358-network-port-expansion-with-dm9000?tisearch=e2e-sitesearch&keymatch=dm9000#. Note that GPMC interface is being used for interfacing between AM335x and DM9000. GPMC_AD[0:7], GPMC_CSN[1:2] are not available externally for OSD335x CSiP as they are used to connect to an eMMC inside the device.
  2. Please see https://www.ti.com/tool/TMDSSK3358#design-files for an example of 2 RGMII ports being used for AM335x. All pins needed for RGMII1 and RDMII2 are present in OSD335x C-SiP. Please see pin mapping between AM335x and OSD335x CSiP here: https://octavosystems.com/app_notes/am335x-signal-to-osd335x-pins/
  We recommend using a different PHY.
  Best,
  Neeraj
