Bits 31:27 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 26
DTCEFD:
Dropping of TCP/IP checksum error frames disable
When this bit is set, the core does not drop frames that only have errors detected by the
receive checksum offload engine. Such frames do not have any errors (including FCS error)
in the Ethernet frame received by the MAC but have errors in the encapsulated payload only.
When this bit is cleared, all error frames are dropped if the FEF bit is reset.
Bit 25
RSF:
Receive store and forward
When this bit is set, a frame is read from the Rx FIFO after the complete frame has been
written to it, ignoring RTC bits. When this bit is cleared, the Rx FIFO operates in Cut-through
mode, subject to the threshold specified by the RTC bits.
Bit 24
DFRF:
Disable flushing of received frames
When this bit is set, the RxDMA does not flush any frames due to the unavailability of
receive descriptors/buffers as it does normally when this bit is cleared. (See
process suspended on page 1172
)
Bits 23:22 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 21
TSF:
Transmit store and forward
When this bit is set, transmission starts when a full frame resides in the Transmit FIFO.
When this bit is set, the TTC values specified by the ETH_DMAOMR register bits [16:14] are
ignored.
When this bit is cleared, the TTC values specified by the ETH_DMAOMR register bits
[16:14] are taken into account.
This bit should be changed only when transmission is stopped.
Bit 20
FTF:
Flush transmit FIFO
When this bit is set, the transmit FIFO controller logic is reset to its default values and thus
all data in the Tx FIFO are lost/flushed. This bit is cleared internally when the flushing
operation is complete. The Operation mode register should not be written to until this bit is
cleared.
Bits 19:17 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 16:14
TTC:
Transmit threshold control
These three bits control the threshold level of the Transmit FIFO. Transmission starts when
the frame size within the Transmit FIFO is larger than the threshold. In addition, full frames
with a length less than the threshold are also transmitted. These bits are used only when the
TSF bit (Bit 21) is cleared.
