6.8. Transceiver Reconfiguration Signals

You access the transceiver dynamic reconfiguration registers using the transceiver reconfiguration interface. This Avalon-MM interface provides access to the transceiver registers.

The Avalon-MM interface implements a standard memory-mapped protocol. You can connect an Avalon master to this bus to access the registers of the embedded Stratix® 10 Native PHY IP cores.

Table 21.  Transceiver Reconfiguration Interface Ports to Native PHY Reconfiguration InterfacesThe signals in this interface are clocked by the i_reconfig_clk clock and reset by the i_reconfig_reset signal. Each bus is a concatenation of the signals for the individual transceiver channels. IP core has four individual transceiver channels.
Port Name Description

i_xcvr_reconfig_write[3:0]

Write request signal. Signal is active high.

To request to write to any of the transceiver reconfiguration registers of the transceiver channel that is configured for lane n, assert i_xcvr_reconfig_write[n].

i_xcvr_reconfig_read[3:0]

Read request signal. Signal is active high.

To request to read from any of the transceiver reconfiguration registers of the transceiver channel that is configured for lane n, assert i_xcvr_reconfig_read[n].

i_xcvr_reconfig_address[43:0]

Address bus. Drive the register address for the transceiver reconfiguration register to which you wish to write or from which you wish to read, on the corresponding 11 bits of i_xcvr_reconfig_address. For example, if you wish to read the value in the transceiver reconfiguration register at offset 0x4E0 for lane 1, drive the value of 0x4E0 on i_xcvr_reconfig_address[21:11] while you assert i_xcvr_reconfig_read[1].

i_xcvr_reconfig_writedata[63:0]

Write data bus. i_xcvr reconfig_address[(11(n+1)-1:11n] specifies the write address for the write data on i_xcvr_reconfig_writedata[16(n+1)-1:16n]. For example, to write to the transceiver reconfiguration register address at offset 0x4E0 for lane 1, drive the register address on i_xcvr reconfig_address[21:11], assert i_xcvr_reconfig_read[1], and write the data to i_xcvr_reconfig_writedata[31:16].

o_xcvr_reconfig_readdata[63:0]

Read data bus. i_xcvr reconfig_address[(11(n+1)-1:11n] specifies the read address for the read data on o_xcvr_reconfig_readdata[16(n+1)-1:16n]. For example, to read from the transceiver reconfiguration register address at offset 0x4E0 for lane 1, drive the register address on i_xcvr reconfig_address[21:11], assert i_xcvr_reconfig_write[1], and after o_xcvr_reconfig_waitrequest[1] is deasserted, read the data on o_xcvr_reconfig_readdata[31:16].

Note that the o_xcvr_reconfig_readdata bit range for a lane is valid only after the corresponding bit of o_xcvr_reconfig_waitrequest is deasserted.

o_xcvr_reconfig_waitrequest[3:0]

Indicates the Avalon® memory-mapped interface is busy. Keep each i_xcvr_reconfig_write or i_xcvr_reconfig_read bit asserted until the corresponding o_xcvr_reconfig_waitrequest bit is deasserted.
Figure 31. Writing to Transceiver Reconfiguration CSRs through Transceiver Avalon Memory-Mapped (MM) InterfaceRequirements when performing a write to transceiver reconfiguration CSRs:
  • The write request must hold high until o_xcvr_reconfig_waitrequest is de-asserted if the write begins while o_xcvr_reconfig_waitrequest is high.
  • Wait for o_xcvr_reconfig_waitrequest to go high after asserting a write command. Hold the write command until o_xcvr_reconfig_waitrequest goes low again.
  • Reads and writes cannot be performed simultaneously.
  • When multiple CSRs have the same address, you may need to perform a Read-Modify-Write to change the desired CSR without changing the value of the CSRs in the same address.
Figure 32. Reading from Transceiver Reconfiguration CSRs through Transceiver Avalon Memory-Mapped (MM) InterfaceRequirements when performing a read to transceiver reconfiguration CSRs:
  • The read request must hold high until o_xcvr_reconfig_waitrequest is de-asserted if the read begins while o_xcvr_reconfig_waitrequest is high.
  • Wait for o_xcvr_reconfig_waitrequest to go high after asserting a read command. Hold the read command until o_xcvr_reconfig_waitrequest goes low again.
  • Reads and writes cannot be performed simultaneously.
