7.4. Transceiver Reconfiguration Signals

You access the Transceiver and Ethernet control and status registers of the Hard IP using the Transceiver and Ethernet reconfiguration interface respectively. Both interfaces are Avalon® memory-mapped interface.

The Avalon® memory-mapped interface implements a standard memory-mapped protocol. You can connect an Avalon® master to this bus to access the registers of the embedded Transceiver PHY IP core.

Table 16.  Transceiver Reconfiguration Interface Ports of the F-Tile Ethernet Hard IPAll interface signals are clocked by the reconfig_clk clock.
Port Name Direction Description
reconfig_clk Input Avalon® clock. The clock frequency is 100 MHz. All transceiver reconfiguration interface signals are synchronous to reconfig_clk .
reconfig_reset Input Resets the Avalon® memory-mapped interface and all the registers to which it provides access.
reconfig_write Input Write enable signal. Signal is active high.
reconfig_read Input Read enable signal. Signal is active high.
reconfig_address[17:0] Input

Address bus.

reconfig_writedata[31:0] Input A 32-bit data write bus. reconfig_address specifies the address.
reconfig_readdata[31:0] Output A 32-bit data read bus. Drives read data from the specified address. Signal is valid after reconfig_waitrequest is deasserted.
reconfig_waitrequest Output Indicates the Avalon® memory-mapped interface is busy. Keep the reconfig_write or reconfig_read asserted until reconfig_waitrequest is deasserted.
reconfig_readdatavalid Output Indicates that the reconfig_readdata signal is valid.
Table 17.  Ethernet Reconfiguration Interface Ports of the F-Tile Ethernet Hard IP
Port Name Direction Description
reconfig_eth_address[13:0] Input Address for the Ethernet control status registers.
reconfig_eth_read Input Read request signal for the Ethernet control status registers.
reconfig_eth_write Input Write request signal for the Ethernet control status registers.
reconfig_eth_readdata[31:0] Output Reads data from this port when the reconfig_eth_read signal is asserted.
reconfig_eth_writedata[31:0] Input Writes data to this port when the reconfig_eth_write signal is asserted.
reconfig_eth_waitrequest Output Indicates that the control and status interface is busy and unable to respond to read or write requests.
reconfig_eth_readdatavalid Output Indicates that the reconfig_eth_readdata signal is valid.
