The transmit resets in the ILKNF subsystem are as follows:

c0_tx_reset: TX reset signal for the ILKNF subsystem. If asserted, this signal resets the TX protocol block and TX lanes of the ILKNF subsystem. Internally, this reset signal is synchronized to c0_axi_clk first and then to c0_core_clk. The resultant reset signal is then synchronized (in parallel) to tx_serdes_clk[0] (to be used in TX lane logic) and tx_alt_serdes_clk[0]. This reset signal is unused in FEC-only mode.
tx_serdes_reset[5:0]: For TX lanes configured in Interlaken mode, tx_serdes_reset[0] is the reset signal for TX lanes of the ILKNF subsystem. The tx_serdes_reset[0] signal should be held in reset until the transceiver PLL is locked and tx_serdes_clk[0] is stable. Internally, tx_serdes_reset[0] is synchronized (in parallel) to the tx_serdes_clk[0] and tx_alt_serdes_clk[0] clocks. The tx_serdes_reset[5:1] signal is unused in this mode. For TX lanes configured in FEC-only mode, tx_serdes_reset[5:0] are reset signals for six 100G FEC encoders. Both 50G slices of a 100G FEC share the same reset signal. The reset signal for each FEC core is synchronized (in parallel) to its corresponding tx_serdes_clk[5:0] and tx_alt_serdes_clk[5:0] clocks.

In Interlaken mode, on the TX path, c0_tx_reset and tx_serdes_reset[0] should be asserted at the same time. Note that asserting c0_tx_reset also resets the TX lanes. The safe practice for the reset sequence is to release c0_tx_reset first followed by tx_serdes_reset[0]. If, during the normal operation, tx_serdes_reset[0] is asserted, the ILKNF subsystem cannot recover without asserting c0_tx_reset reset and then releasing them based on the described reset sequence again.
