Example 9-1: Informational Messages for the Transceiver Reconfiguration Interface
PHY IP will require 2 reconfiguration interfaces for
connection to the external reconfiguration controller.
Reconfiguration interface offset 0 is connected to the transceiver channel.
Reconfiguration interface offset 1 is connected to the transmit PLL.
Table 9-26: Reconfiguration Interface
This interface uses the Avalon-MM PHY Management interface clock.

Description
reconfig_to_xcvr [( <n> 70-1):
0]
Input
Reconfiguration signals from the
Transceiver Reconfiguration
Controller.
<n>
grows linearly with
the number of reconfiguration
interfaces.
reconfig_from_xcvr [( <n> 46-1)
:0]
Output
Reconfiguration signals to the
Transceiver Reconfiguration
Controller.
<n>
grows linearly with
the number of reconfiguration
interfaces.
Transceiver dynamic reconfiguration requires that you assign the starting channel number if you are
using ×6 or ×N bonding. Logical channel 0 should be assigned to either physical transceiver channel 1 or
channel 4 of a transceiver bank. However, if you have already created a PCB with a different lane
assignment for logical lane 0, you can use the workaound shown in the following example to remove this
restriction. The example redefines the
pma_bonding_master
parameter using the Quartus II Assignment
Editor. In this example, the
pma_bonding_master
was originally assigned to physical channel 1. (The
original assignment could also have been to physical channel 4.) The to parameter reassigns the
pma_bonding_master
to the Custom PHY instance name. You must substitute the instance name from
your design for the instance name shown in quotation marks
