Software Interface: Registers

This section provides information about the memory-mapped registers. You access these registers using

the IP core control and status interface. The registers use 32-bit addresses; they are not byte addressable.
Write operations to a read-only register field have no effect. Read operations that address a Reserved

register return an unspecified constant. Write operations to Reserved registers have no effect. Accesses to

registers that do not exist in your IP core variation have an unspecified result.
The following tables list the memory mapped registers for the 40-100GbE IP core and the memory

mapped registers for the 40-100GbE IP core example design.

Table 3-23: 40-100GbE IP Core Register Map Overview

Lists the main ranges of the memory mapped registers for the 40-100GbE IP core.
