PRELIMINARY

5.2

Typical Flow of Events for Transmit (Auto Release = 0)

S/W DRIVER

MAC SIDE

1 ISSUE ALLOCATE MEMORY FOR TX - N

BYTES - the MMU attempts to allocate N bytes

of RAM.

2 WAIT FOR SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION

CODE - Poll until the ALLOC INT bit is set or

enable its mask bit and wait for the interrupt.

The TX packet number is now at the Allocation

Result Register.

3 LOAD TRANSMIT DATA - Copy the TX packet

number into the Packet Number Register. Write

the Pointer Register, then use a block move

operation from the upper layer transmit queue

into the Data Register.

4 ISSUE "ENQUEUE PACKET NUMBER TO TX

FIFO" - This command writes the number

present in the Packet Number Register into the

TX FIFO. The transmission is now enqueued.

No further CPU intervention is needed until a

transmit interrupt is generated.

The enqueued packet will be transferred to the

MAC block as a function of TXENA (nTCR) bit

and of the deferral process (1/2 duplex mode

only) state.

a) Upon transmit completion the first word in

memory is written with the status word. The

packet number is moved from the TX FIFO

into the TX completion FIFO. Interrupt is

generated by the TX completion FIFO being

not empty.

b) If a TX failure occurs on any packets, TX

INT is generated and TXENA is cleared,

transmission sequence stops. The packet

number of the failure packet is presented at

the TX FIFO PORTS Register.

7 a) SERVICE INTERRUPT - Read Interrupt

Status Register. If it is a transmit interrupt,

read the TX FIFO Packet Number from the

FIFO Ports Register. Write the packet

number into the Packet Number Register.

The corresponding status word is now

readable from memory. If status word

shows successful transmission, issue

RELEASE packet number command to free

up the memory used by this packet.

Remove packet number from completion

FIFO by writing TX INT Acknowledge

b) Option 1) Release the packet.

Option 2) Check the transmit status in the

EPH STATUS Register, write the packet

number of the current packet to the Packet

Number Register, re-enable TXENA, then

go to step 4 to start the TX sequence again.
