7.4. Pause/PFC Flow Control Registers

Some of the registers in this table cannot be updated during normal operation. To ensure correct operation, perform a soft reset by writing Bit[0] of the PHY_CONFIG (0x310) after updating registers that cannot be changed dynamically.

(FCQN-1):0

TX Flow Control Enable

Enables the IP core to generate XON and XOFF Pause/PFC flow control frames to the remote partner. The following encodings are defined:
  • 1'b0: XON or XOFF Pause/PFC flow control is disabled.
  • 1'b1: XON or XOFF Pause/PFC flow control is enabled.

You can change this field dynamically.

TX Flow Control CSR XON/XOFF Request 1

One bit per queue

XON/XOF flow control frame request bit 0. Interpretation depends on whether the IP core is in 1-bit FC request mode or in 2-bit FC request mode. This register affects a flow control queue only if the corresponding bit of the TX Flow Control Enable register has the value of 1.

In 2-bit mode, in addition, this register is active for a specific flow control queue only if the corresponding bit in the TX 2-bit Flow Control Request Mode register field (bits [(FCQN-1):0] of the register at offset 0x641) specifies that the flow control logic accepts input from this register.

The following encodings are defined for 1-bit mode. The IP core reads the 1-bit mode value in TX Flow Control CSR XON/XOFF Request 0.

  • 0 = No request
  • 0 to 1 = Generate XOFF request
  • 1 = Continue to generate XOFF request
  • 1 to 0 = Generate XON request

The following encodings are defined for 2-bit mode. The IP core reads the 2-bit mode value in {TX Flow Control CSR XON/XOFF Request 1, TX Flow Control CSR XON/XOFF Request 1}.

  • 00 = No request
  • 01 = XON request
  • 10 = XOFF request
  • 11 = Invalid
