25.4.3 Programmable MCKO Frequency
MCKO is an output clock to the development tools used for the timing of MSEO and MDO pin functions. 
MCKO is derived from the system clock, and its frequency is determined by the value of the MCKO_DIV 
field in the port configuration register (PCR) located in the NPC. Possible operating frequencies include 
one-half, one-quarter, and one-eighth system clock speed.
Table 25-7 shows the MCKO_DIV encodings. In this table, SYS_CLK represents the system clock 
frequency. The default value selected if a reserved encoding is programmed is SYS_CLK/2.
25.4.4 Nexus Messaging
Most of the messages transmitted by the NDI include a SRC field. This field is used to identify which 
source generated the message. Table 25-8 shows the values used for the SRC field by the different clients 
on the device. These 4-bit values are specific to the device. The same values are used for the client select 
values written to the client select control register.
25.4.5 System Clock Locked Indication
Following a power-on reset, the lsb of the auxiliary output port pins (MDO0) can be monitored to provide 
the lock status of the system clock. MDO0 is driven to a logic 1 until the system clock achieves lock after
