Host MAC Address High Register (HMAC_ADDRH)
This read/write register contains the upper 16-bits of the physical address of the Host MAC. 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 05h of the EEPROM. The second byte (bits [15:8]) is loaded from address 06h
of the EEPROM. 
 details the byte ordering of the
HMAC_ADDRL and HMAC_ADDRH registers with respect to the reception of the Ethernet physical
address. Please refer to 
 for
more information on the EEPROM Loader.
