6.2. PHY Registers

Observe the following guidelines when accessing the registers:
  • Do not write to reserved or undefined registers.
  • When writing to the registers, perform read-modify-write operation to ensure that reserved or undefined register bits are not overwritten.
Table 27.  Types of Register Access
Access Definition
RO Read only.
RW Read and write.
RWC Read, write and clear. The user application writes 1 to the register bit(s) to invoke a defined instruction. The IP core clears the bit(s) upon executing the instruction.
