15
RMIISPEED
RMII interface transmit and receive speed select.
0
Operate RMII interface in 10 Mbps speed mode.
1
Operate RMII interface in 100 Mbps speed mode.
14
RXOFFLENBLOCK
Receive offset / length word write block.
0
Do not block the DMA writes to the receive buffer descriptor offset / buffer length word.
1
Block all EMAC DMA controller writes to the receive buffer descriptor offset / buffer length
words during packet processing. When this bit is set, the EMAC will never write the third word
to any receive buffer descriptor.
13
RXOWNERSHIP
Receive ownership write bit value.
0
The EMAC writes the Receive ownership bit to 0 at the end of packet processing.
1
The EMAC writes the Receive ownership bit to 1 at the end of packet processing. If you do not
use the ownership mechanism, you can set this mode to preclude the necessity of software
having to set this bit each time the buffer descriptor is used.

CMDIDLE
Command Idle bit
0
Idle is not commanded.
1
Idle is commanded (read IDLE in the MACSTATUS register).
10
TXSHORTGAPEN
Transmit Short Gap Enable
0
Transmit with a short IPG is disabled. Normal 96-bit time IPG is inserted between packets.
1
Transmit with a short IPG is enabled. Shorter 88-bit time IPG is inserted between packets.
9
TXPTYPE
Transmit queue priority type
0
The queue uses a round-robin scheme to select the next channel for transmission.
1
The queue uses a fixed-priority (channel 7 highest priority) scheme to select the next channel
for transmission.

TXPACE
Transmit pacing enable bit

Transmit pacing is enabled.
5
GMIIEN
GMII enable bit
0
GMII RX and TX are held in reset.
1
GMII RX and TX are enabled for receive and transmit.
