RX Buffer Queue Base Address Register (ETHERNETn_receive_q_ptr)
This register holds the start address of the receive buffer queue (receive buffers descriptor list). The RX
Buffer Queue Base Address register must be initialized before receive is enabled through bit 2 of the
Network Control register. Once reception is enabled, any write to the RX Buffer Queue Base Address
register is ignored. Reading this register returns the location of the descriptor currently being accessed.
This value increments as buffers are used. Software should not use this register for determining where to
remove received frames from the queue as it constantly changes as new frames are received. Software
should instead work its way through the buffer descriptor queue checking the used bits. In terms of AMBA
AXI operation, the receive descriptors are read from memory using a single 32-bit AXI access. Since the
datapath is 64-bit wide, the receive descriptors shall be aligned at 64-bit boundaries and each pair of
32-bit descriptors is written using a single 64-bit AXI access.
