7.4. Signals for Signal Tap

Table 33.  Signals for Signal Tap
Signal Name Description
Top Level Signals
led_link Indicates link up for 10M/100M/1G and 2.5G.
tx_ready Active-high signal. When asserted, it indicates the TX datapath is ready to transmit data.
rx_ready Active-high signal. When asserted, it indicates the RX datapath is ready to receive data..
o_rx_pcs_ready Active-high asynchronous status signal for the RX datapath. Asserts when the RX datapath is ready to receive data. Deasserts when the i_rx_rst_n or i_rst_n signal asserts (for NBASE variant).
o_tx_lanes_stable Active-high asynchronous status signal for the TX datapath. Asserts when the TX datapath is ready to transmit data. Deasserts when the i_tx_rst_n or i_rst_n signal asserts (for NBASE variant).
o_rx_block_lock Asserted when the 66b block alignment is finished on all PCS virtual lanes (10M/100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G (USXGMII), 1G/2.5G/10G (MGBASE), and 10M/100M/1G/2.5G/10G (MGBASE)).
o_tx_pll_locked Indicates the TX SERDES PLLs are locked (for NBASE variant).
