(00X) Reset Modules
The reset modules Reset_hard (000) and Reset_soft (001) coordinate various stages of the board reset. The former, analogous to the cold boot of a computer, performs the basic initial reset steps dealing mainly with the startup and configuration of the Ethernet Controller chip (EC). The latter module is a more customized second stage of full reset or just a soft reset that concerns the sensor and DAC chips. It also records the MAC address of the tagger-controlling PC for further communication. (This cannot be handled in the Reset_hard stage as all registers on the EC and FPGA are cleared and the PC's MAC address stamped on the hard reset packet (R-packet) cannot be saved)
The control packets type bytes leading to states 00X pertaining to these reset modules are:
| Packet Type Byte | Effect on the FPGA | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type | Hex | Bin | State | Description |
| R | 0x52 | 0101 0010 | 000 | "Reset_hard" instruction |
| "R'" | 0xD2 | 1101 0010 | 001 | Essentially an 'R' byte with '1' in the MSB instructing the FPGA to enter a reset cycle of the soft kind. |
