Subject: Proposal to copy the active profile to the offline profile
We have an action item to provide a mechanism to copy the active profile to the offline profile. I would like to propose the following.
Create four variables in addition to US_CID and DS_CID; two for US and two for DS
US_PrflCpy Setting this variable TRUE would cause the PHY to copy the currently active upstream profile variables (see Table xxx) to the offline copy. Once initiated this action continues to completion (i.e., it cannot be interrupted or aborted once initiated).
US_CpyInP When this status variable is TRUE it indicates that a commanded profile copy initiated via the US_PrlfCpy variable in currently in process. Note that while this variable is TRUE writes to all upstream profile variables shall be ignored and switching to the offline variable is prohibited.
DS_PrflCpy Setting this variable TRUE would cause the PHY to copy the currently active downstream profile variables (see Table xxx) to the offline copy. Once initiated this action continues to completion (i.e., it cannot be interrupted or aborted once initiated).
DS_CpyInP When this status variable is TRUE it indicates that a commanded profile copy initiated via the DS_PrlfCpy variable in currently in process. Note that while this variable is TRUE writes to all downstream profile variables shall be ignored and switching to the offline variable is prohibited.
These variables, along with US_CID and DS_CID would be mapped to a single mdio register named Profile Control (we have a register open at 1910 that would be a good location).
Comments on this proposal are welcome.
