Overview

This design document serves as a formal addendum to Revision 2 of the MSC8157E Reference Manual. It details critical corrections across several sections, specifically updating register figures and field descriptions for the SerDes Bank 1 Reset Control Register (SRDSB1RSTCTL) and Lane A–J General Control Registers (L[A–J]GCR0). Key updates include the correction of bit assignments for reset status (RST_DONE, RST_ERR) and lane reset signals (RRST, TRST), as well as receiver and transmitter speed selection settings. The document also clarifies RCWLR register descriptions and updates exception modes for hardware configuration.

Use Cases

  • Correcting register definitions in software drivers for the MSC8157E processor.
  • Debugging SerDes PLL lock and reset sequence issues in high-speed communication interfaces.
  • Verifying hardware configuration modes and transmitter/receiver speed selections.
  • Ensuring accurate hardware initialization during the system boot process.
