Table 66. MAC Control Register (MACCONTROL) Field Descriptions
Bit
Field
Value
Description
31-15
Reserved
0
Any writes to these bit(s) must always have a value of 0
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
EMAC writes the Receive ownership bit to 0 at the end of packet processing.
1
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.
12
RXFIFOFLOWEN
Receive FIFO flow control enable bit.
0
Receive flow control is disabled. Full-duplex mode: no outgoing pause frames are sent.
1
Receive flow control is enabled. Full-duplex mode: outgoing pause frames are sent when
receive FIFO flow control is triggered.
11
CMDIDLE
Command Idle bit.
0
Idle is not commanded.
1
Idle is commanded (read the IDLE bit in the MACSTATUS register).
10
Reserved
0
Any writes to these bit(s) must always have a value of 0
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 is highest priority) scheme to select the next
channel for transmission.
8-7
Reserved
0
Any writes to these bit(s) must always have a value of 0
6
TXPACE
Transmit pacing enable bit.
0
Transmit pacing is disabled.
1
Transmit pacing is enabled.
5
MIIEN
MII enable bit.
0
MII RX and TX are held in reset.
1
MII RX and TX are enabled for receive and transmit.
