Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller Streamer Module Registers
The Streamer module defines the following two modes for channel and PLL reconfiguration:
• Mode 0—MIF. Uses a memory initialization file (.mif) to reconfigure settings.
• Mode 1—Direct Write. Uses a series of Avalon-MM writes on the reconfiguration management
interface to change settings.
Note: All undefined register bits are reserved.

logical channel number
The logical channel number. Must be specified
when performing dynamic updates. The
Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller maps
the logical address to the physical address.

R

Error
. When asserted, indicates an error. This
bit is asserted if any of the following conditions
occur:
• The channel address is invalid.
• The PHY address is invalid.
• The offset register address is invalid.

R
Busy
. When asserted, indicates that a reconfi‐
guration operation is in progress.
[3:2] RW
Mode
. The following encodings are defined:
• 2’b00: MIF. This mode continuously reads
and transfers a .mif file, which contains the
reconfiguration data.
• 2’b01: Direct Write. In this mode, you
specify a logical channel, a register offset,
and data. Depending on the logical channel
specified, the Transceiver Reconfiguration
Controller may mask some of the data
specified to prevent read-only values that
were optimized during startup, from being
over-written. In particular, this mode
protects the following settings:
• Decision feedback equalization controls
• RX buffer offset calibration adjustments
• Duty cycle distortion adjustments
• PMA clock settings
• 2’b10: Reserved
• 2’b11: Reserved
