Chapter 5:
Interfacing to the Core
Configuration and Status Vectors
If the XAUI core is generated without an MDIO interface, the key configuration and status
information is carried on simple bit vectors, which are:
• configuration_vector[6:0]
• status_vector[7:0]
shows the Configuration Vector bit definitions.

Name
Description
0
Loopback
Sets serial loopback in the device-specific transceivers. See bit
5.0.14 in
1
Power Down
Sets the device-specific transceivers into power down mode. See
bit 5.0.11 in
.
2
Reset Local Fault
Clears both TX Local Fault and RX Local Fault bits (status_vector[0]
and status_vector[1]). See
. This bit should be driven by a
register on the same clock domain as the XAUI core.
3
Reset Rx Link Status
Sets the RX Link Status bit (status_vector[7]). See
should be driven by a register on the same clock domain as the
XAUI core.
4
