6. Reset

Control and Status registers control three parallel soft resets. These soft resets are not self-clearing. Software clears them by writing to the appropriate register. Asserting the external hard reset csr_rst_n returns Control and Status registers to their original values.
Figure 18. Conceptual Overview of Reset LogicThe three hard resets are top-level ports. The soft resets are internal signals which are outputs of the hard IP eth_reset register. Software writes the appropriate bit of the eth_reset to assert a soft reset.
The general reset signals reset the following functions:
  • i_tx_rst_n: Resets the TX datapath (MAC, PCS, PMA, AIB). Active Low. Includes TX MAC, TX PCS, TX transceiver, and TX EMIB adapters.
  • i_rx_rst_n: Resets the RX datapath (MAC, PCS, PMA, AIB). Active Low. Includes RX MAC, RX PCS, RX transceiver, and RX EMIB adapters.
  • i_rst_n: Resets TX datapath (MAC, PCS, PMA, AIB). Active Low. Includes RX PCS, transceiver, and EMIB adapters.
  • csr_rst_n: Resets TX and RX MAC CSR registers.
  • i_reconfig_reset: Resets the configuration and status registers of MACs and transceivers. Active low.
  • reset_status: Resets the Avalon® memory-mapped management interface.
