Bit 16
NIS:
Normal interrupt summary
The normal interrupt summary bit value is the logical OR of the following when the
corresponding interrupt bits are enabled in the ETH_DMAIER register:
– ETH_DMASR [0]: Transmit interrupt
– ETH_DMASR [2]: Transmit buffer unavailable
– ETH_DMASR [6]: Receive interrupt
– ETH_DMASR [14]: Early receive interrupt
Only unmasked bits affect the normal interrupt summary bit.
This is a sticky bit and it must be cleared (by writing a 1 to this bit) each time a corresponding
bit that causes NIS to be set is cleared.
Bit 15
AIS:
Abnormal interrupt summary
The abnormal interrupt summary bit value is the logical OR of the following when the
corresponding interrupt bits are enabled in the ETH_DMAIER register:
– ETH_DMASR [1]:Transmit process stopped
– ETH_DMASR [3]:Transmit jabber timeout
– ETH_DMASR [4]: Receive FIFO overflow
– ETH_DMASR [5]: Transmit underflow
– ETH_DMASR [7]: Receive buffer unavailable
– ETH_DMASR [8]: Receive process stopped
– ETH_DMASR [9]: Receive watchdog timeout
– ETH_DMASR [10]: Early transmit interrupt
– ETH_DMASR [13]: Fatal bus error
Only unmasked bits affect the abnormal interrupt summary bit.
This is a sticky bit and it must be cleared each time a corresponding bit that causes AIS to be
set is cleared.
Bit 14
ERS:
Early receive status
This bit indicates that the DMA had filled the first data buffer of the packet. Receive Interrupt
ETH_DMASR [6] automatically clears this bit.
Bit 13
FBES:
Fatal bus error status
This bit indicates that a bus error occurred, as detailed in [25:23]. When this bit is set, the
corresponding DMA engine disables all its bus accesses.
Bits 12:11 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 10
ETS:
Early transmit status
This bit indicates that the frame to be transmitted was fully transferred to the Transmit FIFO.
Bit 9
RWTS:
Receive watchdog timeout status
This bit is asserted when a frame with a length greater than 2 048 bytes is received.
Bit 8
RPSS:
Receive process stopped status
This bit is asserted when the receive process enters the Stopped state.
Bit 7
RBUS:
Receive buffer unavailable status
This bit indicates that the next descriptor in the receive list is owned by the host and cannot
be acquired by the DMA. Receive process is suspended. To resume processing receive
descriptors, the host should change the ownership of the descriptor and issue a Receive Poll
Demand command. If no Receive Poll Demand is issued, receive process resumes when the
next recognized incoming frame is received. ETH_DMASR [7] is set only when the previous
receive descriptor was owned by the DMA.
