VLYNQ Port Registers

VLYNQ allows inter-connection of many VLYNQ devices. In order for software to control the device
functions, there must be a mechanism that allows the software to identify VLYNQ devices. Each device
that has a VLYNQ module in it has a unique device ID associated with it, which is software readable via a
memory-mapped register within the VLYNQ module called the chip version register (CHIPVER). This is
also useful in communicating with remote devices, as the local VLYNQ device register map contains a
copy of the remote device's registers as well. This allows the software to determine the remote chip ID
and, hence, determine the remote memory-map without trying to access random remote addresses to find
a device ID register. The CHIPVER is shown in

The auto negotiation register (AUTNGO) reflects the ability of the VLYNQ module residing in the device to
communicate with the remote VLYNQ device on their respective abilities after reset. The AUTNGO is
