MAC and PHY Reset Registers
The following registers control the 40-100GbE MAC and PHY resets. Writing a 1’b1 to any of the reset
register fields initiates the corresponding reset sequence.
Note: Altera recommends that you reset the MAC and PHY using the following register reset sequence:
1. Write the value of 0x7 (all ones) to the PHY reset register at offset 0x1D.
2. Write the value of 0x3 (all ones) to the MAC reset register at offset 0x121.
3. Write the value of 0x0 (all zeros) to the MAC reset register at offset 0x121.
4. Write the value of 0x0 (all zeros) to the PHY reset register at offset 0x1D.
