6.5.3. Reset Controller Bypass

You can access the resets for the internal PMA interface, RS-FEC, and EMIB blocks when you bypass the reset controller, much like when the reset controller is in manual mode.

The TRS block in the reset controller, which prevents multiple transceivers from being in reset at the same time is not implemented.

If you have multiple E-tile Native PHY IP core instances on a single E-tile, make sure that you assert/deassert reset to a single transceiver channel in an E-tile at a time. For example, if you instantiate three E-tile Native PHY IP cores with the following configurations:

  • Instance A with one transceiver channel with RS-FEC disabled and the reset controller in automatic mode
  • Instance B with four transceiver channels with RS-FEC enabled in aggregate mode and the reset controller in manual mode
  • Instance C with two transceiver channels with RS-FEC enabled in fractured mode and the reset controller bypassed

If you want to reset instances A or B, you cannot assert/deassert reset signals on instance C at the same time.

If you want to reset any channel in instance C, you cannot reset instance A or B. You can only reset a single channel inside instance C at a time. If you previously asserted reset on instance A, ensure that tx_ready and rx_ready are deasserted on instance A. If you previously deasserted reset on instance A, ensure that tx_ready and rx_ready are asserted on instance A. Do not assert the tx_reset_req or rx_reset_req on instance B.
