Signal

Direction

Description

tx_lanes_stable Output Asserted when all TX lanes are stable and ready to transmit data.
rx_block_lock Output

Asserted when all lanes have identified 66-bit block boundaries in the serial data stream.

rx_am_lock Output

Asserted when all lanes have identified alignment markers in the data stream.

rx_pcs_ready Output

Asserted when the RX lanes are fully aligned and ready to receive data.

local_fault_status Output Asserted when the RX MAC detects a local fault. This signal is available if you turn on Enable link fault generation in the parameter editor.
remote_fault_status Output Asserted when the RX MAC detects a remote fault. This signal is available if you turn on Enable link fault generation in the parameter editor.
unidirectional_en Output Asserted if the IP core includes Clause 66 for unidirectional support. This signal is available if you turn on Enable link fault generation in the parameter editor.
link_fault_gen_en Output Asserted if the IP core includes Clause 66 for unidirectional support. This signal is available if you turn on Enable link fault generation in the parameter editor.
