Software reset. Writing a 1 to this bit causes the EMAC logic to be reset. Software reset occurs

 

 

 

when the receive and transmit DMA controllers are in an idle state to avoid locking up the

 

 

 

Configuration bus. After writing a 1 to this bit, it may be polled to determine if the reset has

 

 

 

occurred. If a 1 is read, the reset has not yet occurred. If a 0 is read, then a reset has occurred.

 

 

0

A software reset has not occurred.

 

 

1

A software reset has occurred.
