Hello,
Does Ethernet module of Cypress WiFi MCUs support MAC (RMII) to MAC (RMII) connection without Ethernet PHYs?
As I want to use Ethernet for onboard communication with FPGA, I want to avoid extra chips on the PCB.
Thank you in advance.

Ideally, RMII connections are meant for communication between MAC and PHY. If you see the schematic of CYW43907EVAL1F, there is a PHY chip being connected externally (BCM524), which gets connected to RMII pins of CYW43907.
You can check the driver code of ethernet in C:\Users\<name>\WICED-Studio-6.6\43xxx_Wi-Fi\WICED\platform\MCU\BCM4390x\peripherals\ethernet. We haven't tested the MAC to MAC communication through RMII.

Hi,
Please have a look at the following blog post for your reference Application for Network Interface through Ethernet with CYW943907AEVAL1F
