(SWITCH_MAC_ADDRH)

. The contents of this register are optionally loaded from the EEPROM at

power-on through the EEPROM Loader if a programmed EEPROM is detected. The least significant
byte of this register (bits [7:0]) is loaded from address 01h of the EEPROM. The most significant byte
(bits [31:24]) is loaded from address 04h of the EEPROM. These EEPROM values are also loaded
into the

Host MAC Address Low Register (HMAC_ADDRL)

. The Host can update the contents of this

field after the initialization process has completed.

Refer to

Section 9.6, "Host MAC Address," on page 119

for details on how the EEPROM Loader loads

this register. Refer to

Section 10.2.4, "EEPROM Loader," on page 149

for information on using the

EEPROM Loader.
