Hardware Reference NS9215
The
TX_WR
logic examines the status received from the MAC after it has transmitted
the frame.
Frame
transmitted
successfully
If the frame was transmitted successfully, the
TX_WR
logic sets
TXDONE
(frame
transmission complete) in the Ethernet Interrupt Status register and reads the next
buffer descriptor. If a new frame is available (that is, the F bit is set), the
TX_WR
starts transferring the frame. If a new frame is not available, the
TX_WR
logic sets
the
TXIDLE
(
TX_WR
logic has no frame to transmit) bit in the Ethernet Interrupt
Status register and waits for the software to toggle
TCLER
(clear transmit logic), in
Ethernet General Control Register #2, from low to high to resume processing. When
TCLER is toggled, transmission starts again with the buffer descriptor pointed to by
the Transmit Recover Buffer Descriptor Pointer register. Software should update this
register before toggling TCLER.
Frame
transmitted
unsuccessfully
If the
TX_WR
logic detects that the frame was aborted or had an error, the logic
updates the current buffer descriptor as described in the previous paragraph. If the
frame was aborted before the last buffer descriptor of the frame was accessed, the
result is a situation in which the status field of a buffer descriptor, which is not the
last buffer descriptor in a frame, has a non-zero value. The
TX_WR
logic stops
processing frames until
TCLER
(clear transmit logic) in Ethernet General Control
Register #2 is toggled from low to high to resume processing. The
TX_WR
logic also
sets
TXERR
(last frame not transmitted successfully) in the Ethernet Interrupt Status
register and loads the TX buffer descriptor RAM address of the current buffer
descriptor in the TX Error Buffer Descriptor Pointer register (see page 320). This
allows identification of the frame that was not transmitted successfully. As part of
the recovery procedure, software must read the TX Error Buffer Descriptor Pointer
register and then write the 8-bit address of the buffer descriptor to resume
transmission into the TX Recover Buffer Descriptor Pointer register.
Transmitting a
frame to the
Ethernet MAC
The
TX_RD
logic is responsible for reading data from the TX_FIFO and sending it to
the Ethernet MAC. The logic does not begin reading a new frame until the TX_FIFO
is full. This scheme decouples the data transfer to the Ethernet MAC from the fill
rate from the AHB bus. For short frames that are less than 256 bytes, the transmit
process begins when the end-of-frame signal is received from the
TX_WR
logic.
When the MAC completes a frame transmission, it returns status bits that are stored
in the Ethernet Transmit Status register (see page 283) and written into the status
field of the current buffer descriptor.
Ethernet
underrun
An Ethernet underrun can only occur due to the following programming errors:
–
Insufficient bandwidth is assigned to the Ethernet transmitter.
