phase_comp_fifo_error[3:
0]
Indicates a RX phase compensation FIFO overflow or 
underrun condition on the corresponding lane. Reading the 
value of the 
phase_comp_fifo_error 
register clears the 
bits. This register is only available in the hard XAUI 
implementation
From block: RX phase compensation FIFO.
[3:0]
rlv[3:0]
Indicates a run length violation. Asserted if the number of 
consecutive 1s or 0s exceeds the number that was set in the 
Runlength check option. Bits 0-3 correspond to lanes 0-3, 
respectively. Reading the value of the 
RLV
 register clears the 
bits. This register is only available in the hard XAUI 
implementation.
From block: Word aligner.

R,

rmfifodatainserted[7:0]
When asserted, indicates that the RX rate match block 
inserted a ||R|| column. Goes high for one clock cycle per 
inserted ||R|| column. Reading the value of the 
rmfifodatainserted
 register clears the bits. This register 
is only available in the hard XAUI implementation.
From block: Rate match FIFO.
[7:0]
rmfifodatadeleted[7:0]
When asserted, indicates that the rate match block has 
deleted an ||R|| column. The flag goes high for one clock 
cycle per deleted ||R|| column. There are 2 bits for each 
lane. Reading the value of the 
rmfifodatadeleted 
register clears the bits. This register is only available in the 
hard XAUI implementation.
From block: Rate match FIFO.

rmfifofull[3:0]
When asserted, indicates that rate match FIFO is full (20 
words). Bits 0-3 correspond to lanes 0-3, respectively. 
Reading the value of the 
rmfifofull
 register clears the 
bits. This register is only available in the hard XAUI 
implementation
From block: Rate match FIFO.
[3:0]
rmfifoempty[3:0]
When asserted, indicates that the rate match FIFO is empty 
(5 words). Bits 0-3 correspond to lanes 0-3, respectively. 
Reading the value of the 
rmfifoempty
 register clears the 
bits. This register is only available in the hard XAUI 
implementation
From block: Rate match FIFO.
