Forward error correction (FEC) is available on the PHYs of the MRMAC port. FEC can be enabled or disabled on a per-port basis.

The FEC_CONFIGURATION_REG needs to be configured appropriately for the FEC to work. For example, the Clause 49 flag should be set to 1 for modes which require Clause 49 transcoding (25GE, 50GE, Fibre Channel) and set to 0 for modes which require Clause 82 transcoding (100GE). CTL_TX_FEC_FOUR_LANE_PMD needs to set to 1 for 100CAUI-4 with RSFEC (it should be set to 0 100GAUI-2 and other modes).

The various FEC operating modes are selected through the ctl_fec_mode field of the FEC_CONFIGURATION_REG configuration register. A change in the FEC_CONFIGURATION_REG of the port requires a reset being driven to that port after configuration is complete.
