7.1. PHY Registers

Table 25.  PHY RegistersThe global hard reset csr_rst_n resets all of these registers. The TX reset tx_rst_n and RX reset rx_rst_n signals do not reset these registers.

0x310 PHY_CONFIG PHY configuration registers. The following bit fields are defined:
  • Bit[0]: eio_sys_rst. Full system reset (except registers). Set this bit to initiate the internal reset sequence.
  • Bit[1]: soft_txp_rst. TX soft reset. Resets TX PCS, MAC, and adapter.
  • Bit[2]: soft_rxp_rst. RX soft reset. Resets RX PCS, MAC, and adapter.
  • Bit[3]: Reserved.
  • Bit[4]: set_ref_lock. Directs the RX CDR PLL to lock to the reference clock.
  • Bit[5]: set_data_lock. Directs the RX CDR PLL to lock to data.
  • Bits[31:6]: Reserved.
 26'hX_2'b0_1'bX_3'b0 3 RW
0x312 WORD_LOCK When asserted, indicates that the virtual channel has identified 66 bit block boundaries in the serial data stream. 31'hX1'b0 3 RO
0x313 EIO_SLOOP Serial PMA loopback. Setting a bit puts the corresponding transceiver in serial loopback mode. In serial loopback mode, the TX lane loops back to the RX lane on an internal loopback path. 31'hX1'b0 3 RW
0x314 EIO_FLAG_SEL Supports indirect addressing of individual FIFO flags in the PCS Native PHY IP core. Program this register with the encoding for a specific FIFO flag. The flag values (one per transceiver) are then accessible in the EIO_FLAGS register.

The value in the EIO_FLAG_SEL register directs the IP core to make available the following FIFO flag:

  • 3'b000: TX FIFO full
  • 3'b001: TX FIFO empty
  • 3b010: TX FIFO partially full
  • 3'b011: TX FIFO partially empty
  • 3b100: RX FIFO full
  • 3b101: RX FIFO empty
  • 3b110: RX FIFO partially full
  • 3b111: RX FIFO partially empty
 29'hX3'b0 3 RW
0x315 EIO_FLAGS PCS indirect data. To read a FIFO flag, set the value in the EIO_FLAG_SEL register to indicate the flag you want to read. After you specify the flag in the EIO_FLAG_SEL register, each bit [n] in the EIO_FLAGS register has the value of that FIFO flag for the transceiver channel for lane [n]. 31'hX1'b0 3 RO
0x321 EIO_FREQ_LOCK Each asserted bit indicates that the corresponding lane RX clock data recovery (CDR) phase-locked loop (PLL) is locked. 31'hX1'b0 3 RO
0x322 PHY_CLK The following encodings are defined:
  • Bit[0]: Indicates if the TX PCS is ready.
  • Bit[1]: Indicates if the TX MAC PLL is locked.
  • Bit[2]: Indicates if the RX CDR PLL is locked.
29'hX3'b00 3 RO
0x323 FRM_ERR The IP core asserts bit [0] if it identifies a frame error. You can read this register to determine if the IP core sustains a low number of frame errors, below the threshold to lose word lock. This bit is sticky, unless the IP core loses word lock. Write 1'b1 to the SCLR_FRM_ERR register to clear.

If the IP core loses word lock, it clears this register.

 31'hX1'b0 3 RO
0x324 SCLR_FRM_ERR Synchronous clear for FRM_ERR register. Write 1'b1 to this register to clear the FRM_ERR register and bit [1] of the LANE_DESKEWED register. A single bit clears all sticky framing errors.

This bit does not auto-clear. Write a 1'b0 to continue logging frame errors.

0x325 EIO_RX_SOFT_PURGE_S

Reserved.

 0x0000 RO
0x326 RX_PCS_FULLY_ALIGNED_S Indicates the RX PCS is fully aligned and ready to accept traffic.
  • Bit[0]: RX PCS fully aligned status.
  • Bit[1]: RX PCS bit error rate status. A bit value of 1 indicates a bit error rate higher than 10-4 or there are at least 16 errors within 50 us. This bit value is only valid when the link fault generation is enabled.

31'hX1'b0 3

RO
0x329 LANE_DESKEWED
The following encodings are defined:
  • Bit[0]: Indicates all lanes are deskewed.
  • Bit[1]: When asserted indicates a change in lanes deskewed status. To clear this sticky bit, write 1'b1 to the corresponding bit of the SCLR_FRM_ERR register. This is a latched signal.

30'hX2'b00 3

RO
0x340 Reserved
0x341 KHZ_RX The register indicates the value of RX clock (clk_rxmac) frequency. Apply the following definition for the frequency value:

[(Register value 4 * clk_status)/10] KHZ

0x0000 0000 RO
0x342 KHZ_TX The register indicates the value of TX clock (clk_txmac) frequency. Apply the following definition for the frequency value:

[(Register value 4 * clk_status)/10] KHZ

0x0000 0000 RO
0x343 PHY_TLKIT_ACCESS If you turn on the Enable auto adaptation triggering for RX PMA CTLE/DFE mode option, write 1'b1 to bit[0] of this register to hold the auto adaptation module FSM to an idle state.
Note: For H-tile production devices, write 1'b1 to bit[0] before you launch the Transceiver Toolkit so that the transceiver channel appears in the Transceiver Toolkit. Close the Transceiver Toolkit before you write 1'b0 to bit[0] to restart the auto adaptation module FSM so that the System Console does not hang. For more information, refer to Disabling Background Calibration and Accessing the Native PHY in L- and H-Tile Devices.
