2.11.14.1. Ethernet Reconfiguration Interfaces

You access Ethernet control and status registers of the E-Tile Hard IP for Ethernet Intel FPGA IP during normal operation using an Avalon® memory-mapped interface. The interface responds regardless of the link status. It also responds when the IP core is in a reset state driven by any reset signal or soft reset other than the i_csr_rst_n signal.

Asserting the i_csr_rst_n signal resets all Ethernet control and status registers, including the statistics counters; while this reset is in process, reads or writes to addresses in the Ethernet Hard IP can be delayed.

Table 52.  Ethernet Reconfiguration InterfaceThe signals in this interface are clocked by the i_reconfig_clk clock and reset by the i_reconfig_reset signal. This clock and reset are used for all the reconfiguration interfaces in the IP core. However, the two interfaces access disjoint sets of registers. The signal names are standard Avalon® streaming interface signals with slight differences to indicate the variations. For example:
  • For variants with single 10GE/25GE channel: i_sl_eth_reconfig_addr
  • For variants with more than 1 channel: i_sl_eth_reconfig_addr[n-1:0]
  • For variants with single 100GE channel: i_eth_reconfig_addr
