Hi, I am considering STM32H725 series microcontroller in a design. 1. Can RTL8201F ethernet PHY from Realtek be used with STM32H725 series microcontroller? 3. Does STM32H725 series has necessary libraries for Realtek Ethernet PHY ICs.

1. STM32H7 supports both RMII and MII connection to PHY. The RTL8201F supports both of these types. So yes.

3. Once configured, the PHY should be transparent. There aren't PHY-specific things needed. STM32H7 library has support for LwIP for various ethernet communication protocols. There are examples.

All typically required things are common, except for two - the speed and duplex status bits of the auto-negotiation result are PHY specific and located in PHY specific register.
