Architecture
Receive overrun is prevented if the receive memory cell latency is less than the time required to transmit a
64-byte cell on the wire (0.512 ms in 1 Gbps mode, 5.12 ms in 100 Mbps mode, or 51.2ms in 10 Mbps
mode). The latency time includes any required buffer descriptor reads for the cell data.
Latency to descriptor RAM is low because RAM is local to the EMAC, as it is part of the EMAC control
module.
3.2.13 Transfer Node Priority
The device contains a chip-level register, master priority register (MSTPRI), that is used to set the priority
of the transfer node used in issuing memory transfer requests to system memory.
Although the EMAC has internal FIFOs to help alleviate memory transfer arbitration problems, the average
transfer rate of data read and written by the EMAC to internal or external processor memory must be at
least that of the Ethernet wire rate. In addition, the internal FIFO system can not withstand a single
memory latency event greater than the time it takes to fill or empty a TXCELLTHRESH number of internal
64-byte FIFO cells.
For 100 Mbps operation, these restrictions translate into the following rules:
•
The short-term average, each 64-byte memory read/write request from the EMAC must be serviced in
no more than 5.12
μ
s.
•
Any single latency event in request servicing can be no longer than (5.12 × TXCELLTHRESH)
μ
s.
Bits 0-2 of the second chip-level master priority register (MSTPRI1) are used to set the transfer node
priority within the Switched Central Resource (SCR5) for the EMAC master peripheral.
A value of 000b has the highest priority, while 111b has the lowest priority. The default priority assigned to
the EMAC is 100b. It is important to have a balance between all peripherals. In most cases, the default
priorities will not need adjustment. For more information on the master peripherals priorities, see the
device-specific data manual.
3.2.14 Reset Considerations
3.2.14.1 Software Reset Considerations
Peripheral clock and reset control is done through the PRCM module included with the device. For more
on how the EMAC, MDIO, and EMAC control module are disabled or placed in reset at runtime from the
registers located in the PRCM module, see
.
NOTE:
For proper operation, both the EMAC and EMAC control module must be reset in the
following sequence. First, the soft reset of the EMAC module should be commanded. After
the reset takes effect (verified by reading back SOFTRESET), the soft reset of the EMAC
control module should be commanded.
Within the peripheral there are two controls to separately reset the EMAC and the EMAC control module.
•
The EMAC component of the Ethernet MAC peripheral can be placed in a reset state by writing to the
soft reset register (SOFTRESET). Writing a 1 to the SOFTRESET bit, causes the EMAC logic to be
reset and the register values to be set to their default values. Software reset occurs when the receive
and transmit DMA controllers are in an idle state to avoid locking up the configuration bus; it is the
responsibility of the software to verify that there are no pending frames to be transferred. After writing a
1 to the SOFTRESET bit, it may be polled to determine if the reset has occurred. If a 1 is read, the
reset has not yet occurred; if a 0 is read, then a reset has occurred.
•
The Software Reset Register (SOFT_RESET) is used to place the EMAC control module logic in soft
reset. This resets the control logic, the EMAC registers, as well as, the EMAC control module 8KB
internal memory that may be used for storing the transfer descriptors.
After a software reset operation, all the EMAC registers need to be reinitialized for proper data
transmission.
Unlike the EMAC module, the MDIO and EMAC control modules cannot be placed in reset from a register
inside their memory map.
