RX_AGGREGATE
[4]
When asserted, indicates a change in
PCS-VLANE permutation. This status
bit clears on read.

[3]
When asserted, indicates a change in
lanes deskewed status. This status bit
clears on read.

[2]
When asserted, indicates a change in
PCS-VLANE tag drop position. This
status bit clears on read.
1’b0
R
[1]
When asserted, indicates that all lanes
are locked and lane-to-lane deskew is
complete so that the 40-100GbE IP core
is in operating normally.

Bit Error Flag Registers
Bit errors occur naturally from time to time on high speed serial links. The higher level Ethernet protocol
includes mechanisms to respond to errors and tally them appropriately. These lower level flags are useful
for tracking errors in a physical link and computing error rates.

When asserted, indicates that a framing error
has occurred on any lane. This status bit
clears on read.
