7.8. Recommendations for PMA Dynamic Reconfiguration
Some PMA features that can be dynamically reconfigured, like the reference clock
source, the TX and RX datarate require the PMA and digital blocks to be in the reset
state. Intel recommends that you:
•
Hold the channel transmitter in digital reset and assert PMA attribute codes to
disable the PMA TX during reconfiguration.
•
Hold the channel receiver in digital reset and assert PMA attribute codes to disable
the CDR during reconfiguration.
7.9. Steps to Perform Dynamic Reconfiguration
Refer to PMA Attribute Codes for information about which PMA attributes codes require
the PMA to be reset.

Update PMA settings that can be
changed while the PMA is running
using PMA register read/write
codes listed in Chapter 9.2

Disable the PMA using PMA register

Update PMA settings using
PMA register read/write codes
listed in Chapter 9.2
Set the PMA to internal or serial
loopback using PMA register
read/write code 0x0008
Enable the PMA using PMA register
read/write code 0x0001
Enable Initial RX Equalizer
Adaptation Mode using PMA
register read/write code 0x000A
Disable PMA internal or serial loopback using
PMA register read/write code 0x0008
Reconfigure the EMIB/EHIP/PMAIF/
RS-FEC registers by updating the
appropriate AVMM registers
Deassert the digital reset
Example: Change the
PMA datarate from
25 Gbps to 20 Gbps.

Deassert the digital reset
Reconfigure the
EMIB/EHIP/PMAIF/RS-FEC
registers by updating the
appropriate AVMM registers
Examples:
Change the PMA TX
pre-emphasis values.
Reset RS-FEC counters.
Example: Change from
Non-RS-FEC mode to
RS-FEC mode.
Start
Resetting a single channel in fractured RS-FEC
mode affects the data in all channels.
