Description
1
TFE
R/W
0x0
Transmit Flow Control Enable.
0x0 = In full duplex mode, the flow control operation in the MAC is
disabled, and the MAC does not transmit any pause frames.In half
duplex mode, the back-pressure feature is disabled.
0x1 = In the full-duplex mode, the MAC enables the flow control
operation to transmit pause frames.In half-duplex mode, the MAC
enables the back-pressure operation.
0
FCBBPA
R/W
0x0
Flow Control Busy or Back-pressure Activate. In the full-duplex
mode, this bit should be read as 0x0 before writing to the Flow
Control register. To initiate a Pause control frame, the Application
must set this bit to 0x1. During a transfer of the Control Frame, this
bit continues to be set to signify that a frame transmission is in
progress. After the completion of Pause control frame transmission,
the MAC resets this bit to 0x0. The EMACFLOWCTL register should
not be written to until this bit is cleared.
0x0 = No effect
0x1 = In the full-duplex mode, a pause control frame is enabled. In
half-duplex mode, a back-pressure function is enabled if the TFE bit
is set.
