then the MAC issues a restart command to the DMA controller to
repeat the DMA of the current descriptor’s data buffer (if enabled
by the
LCTRE
bit).
•
End of frame
– At the end of the frame, the MAC issues a finish
command to the DMA controller, causing it to advance to the next
(status) descriptor. If the TX frame exceeds the maximum length
limit (1560 bytes, or 0x618), the frame’s DMA transfer is trun-
cated. Only 1543 (0x607) are transmitted on the MII.
•
Status
– The MAC transfers the frame status into the status buffer.
•
Interrupt
– Upon completion, the DMA may issue an interrupt, if
the descriptor was programmed to do so. The DMA then advances
to the next (data) descriptor, if any.
