(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 leading to states 00X pertaining to thes reset modules are:

Packet Type Byte Hex value Bin value Description
R 0x52 0101 0010
"R'" 0xD2 1101 0010
