Reset Control Registers–Automatic Reset Controller
0x041 [31:0] RW
reset_ch_bitmask
Bit mask for reset registers at addresses 0x042 and 0x044. 
The default value is all 1s. Channel <
n
> can be reset when 
bit<
n
> = 1. 
0x042 [1:0]
W
reset_control
 (write)
Writing a 1 to bit 0 initiates a TX digital reset using the reset 
controller module. The reset affects channels enabled in the 
reset_ch_bitmask. Writing a 1 to bit 1 initiates a RX 
digital reset of channels enabled in the 
reset_ch_bitmask.
R
reset_status
(read)
Reading bit 0 returns the status of the reset controller TX 
ready bit. Reading bit 1 returns the status of the reset 
controller RX ready bit.

0x044
[31:4,0] RW
Reserved
It is safe to write 0s to reserved bits.
[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.
[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.
[3] RW
reset_rx_digital
Writing a 1 causes the 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.

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>.
