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.
Description
Value
No effect
0
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.
