RSVD

 

R

 

Reserved. Bits 31±23 return 0s when read.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When this bit is set, the cycle timer uses an external source (CYCLEIN) to determine when to roll over

22

cycleSource

 

RSC

 

the cycle timer. When this bit is cleared, the cycle timer rolls over when the timer reaches 3072 cycles

 

 

 

 

 

of the 24.576-MHz clock (125 s).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When this bit is set, and the PHY has notified the TSB12LV26 that the PHY is root, the TSB12LV26

 

 

 

 

 

generates a cycle start packet every time the cycle timer rolls over, based on the setting of bit 22.

21

cycleMaster

 

RSCU

When this bit is cleared, the OHCI-Lynx accepts received cycle start packets to maintain

 

synchronization with the node which is sending them. This bit is automatically cleared when bit 25

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(cycleTooLong) of the interrupt event register (OHCI offset 80h/84h, see Section 4.21) is set and

 

 

 

 

 

cannot be set until bit 25 (cycleTooLong) is cleared.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When this bit is set, the cycle timer offset counts cycles of the 24.576-MHz clock and rolls over at the

20

CycleTimerEnable

RSC

 

appropriate time based on the settings of the above bits. When this bit is cleared, the cycle timer offset

 

 

 

 

 

does not count.

 

 

 

 

 

 

19±11

RSVD

 

R

 

Reserved. Bits 19±11 return 0s when read.

 

 

 

 

 

 

10

RcvPhyPkt

 

RSC

 

When this bit is set, the receiver accepts incoming PHY packets into the AR request context if the AR

 

 

request context is enabled. This does not control receipt of self-ID packets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9

RcvSelfID

 

RSC

 

When this bit is set, the receiver accepts incoming self-ID packets. Before setting this bit to 1,

 

 

software must ensure that the self-ID buffer pointer register contains a valid address.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8±0

RSVD

 

R

 

Reserved. Bits 8±0 return 0s when read.
