Reset Controls –Manual Mode
0x044
[31:0] RW
reset_fine_control
You can use the 
reset_fine_control
 register to create 
your own reset sequence. In manual mode, only the TX 
reset occurs automatically at power on and when the 
phy_mgmt_clk_reset
 is asserted. When 
pma_rx_setlocktodata
 or 
pma_rx_setlocktodata
 is 
set, the transceiver PHY is placed in manual mode. 
[31:4,0] RW
Reserved
It is safe to write 0s to reserved bits.
[3] RW
reset_rx_digital
Writing a 1 causes the internal RX digital reset signal to be 
asserted, resetting the RX digital channels enabled in 
reset_ch_bitmask. You must write a 0 to clear the 
reset condition.
[2] RW
reset_rx_analog
Writing a 1 causes the internal RX analog reset signal to be 
asserted, resetting the RX analog logic of all channels 
enabled in reset_ch_bitmask. You must write a 0 to 
clear the reset condition.
[1] RW
reset_tx_digital
Writing a 1 causes the internal TX digital reset signal to be 
asserted, resetting all channels enabled in 
reset_ch_bitmask. You must write a 0 to clear the 
reset condition.

loopback
Writing a 1 to channel <
n
> puts channel <
n
> in serial 
loopback mode. For information about pre- or 
post-CDRserial loopback modes, refer to “Loopback 
Modes” on page 10–39 .
0x064 [31:0] RW
pma_rx_set_locktodata
When set, programs the RX CDR PLL to lock to the 
incoming data. Bit <n> corresponds to channel <n>.
0x065 [31:0] RW
pma_rx_set_locktoref
When set, programs the RX CDR PLL to lock to the 
reference clock. Bit <n> corresponds to channel <n>.
0x066 [31:0] R
pma_rx_is_lockedtodata
When asserted, indicates that the RX CDR PLL is locked to 
the RX data, and that the RX CDR has changed from LTR to 
LTD mode. Bit <n> corresponds to channel <n>.
0x067 [31:0] R
pma_rx_is_lockedtoref
When asserted, indicates that the RX CDR PLL is locked to 
the reference clock. Bit <n> corresponds to channel <n>.
PCS 
0x080 [31:0] RW Lane or group number
Specifies lane or group number for indirect addressing, 
which is used for all PCS control and status registers. For 
variants that stripe data across multiple lanes, this is the 
logical group number. For non-bonded applications, this is 
the logical lane number. 
0x081

rx_bitslipboundaryselect
out
This is an output from the bit slip word aligner which shows 
the number of bits slipped.
From block: Word aligner.
