Converting TSE IP register settings from TCL script to VHDL

Hi everyone,

I want to use 2 tse MAC's in my own design in HDL-author, but it seems somehow that the registers that I configure through the Avalon-MM are not set correctly or that the registers for the PHY are not set correctly through the MDIO interface. I can not simulate my whole design due to encrypted files. However I can use the generated testbench from Intel and simulate the register values that I a want to set in the MAC

The reference design from Intel uses tcl scripts to configure the TSE module through a JTAG interface. But the register settings don't match with the registers from the datasheet of the TSE. So my question is:

is there a mapping between the JTAG interface and the TSE IP for setting the registers? how could I use the register settings from the tcl script in my vhdl design?

I am using the MAX 10 development kit with Dual Ethernet port and 2 PHY’s.
