Fast Ethernet Controller (FEC)
25.4.1 Initialization Sequence
This section describes which registers are reset due to hardware reset, which are reset by the FEC RISC,
and what locations the user must initialize prior to enabling the FEC.
25.4.1.1 Hardware Controlled Initialization
In the FEC, registers and control logic that generate interrupts are reset by hardware. A hardware reset
deasserts output signals and resets general configuration bits.
Other registers reset when the ECR[ETHER_EN] bit is cleared. ECR[ETHER_EN] is deasserted by a hard
reset or may be deasserted by software to halt operation. By deasserting ECR[ETHER_EN], the
configuration control registers such as the TCR and RCR are not reset, but the entire data path is reset.

25.4.2 User Initialization (Prior to Asserting ECR[ETHER_EN])
The user needs to initialize portions of the FEC prior to setting the ECR[ETHER_EN] bit. The exact values
depend on the particular application. The sequence is not important.
Ethernet MAC registers requiring initialization are defined in Table 25-29.
