PIO Reads
PIO reads can be used to access CSRs or RX Data and RX/TX status FIFOs. In this mode, counters
in the CSRs are latched at the beginning of the read cycle. Read data is valid as indicated in the timing
diagram. PIO reads can be performed using Chip Select (nCS) or Read Enable (nRD). Either or both
of these control signals must go high between cycles for the period specified.
PIO reads are supported for both 16- and 32-bit access. Timing for 16-bit and 32-bit PIO Read cycles
is identical with the exception that D[31:16] are not driven during a 16-bit read.
Note: Some registers have restrictions on the timing of back-to-back, write-read and read-read
cycles.
