Ethernet Receive Status register
Address: A060 001C
The Ethernet Receive Status register contains the status for the last completed
receive frame. The RXBR bit in the Ethernet Interrupt Status register (see page 317)
is set whenever a receive frame is completed and the Ethernet Receive Status
register is loaded at the same time. Bits [15:0] are also loaded into the status field
of the receive buffer descriptor used for the frame.
D08 R TXAJ 0x0 TX abort — jumbo
When set, indicates that the frame’s length exceeded
the value set in the Maximum Frame register. TXAJ is
set only if the HUGE bit in MAC Configuration
Register #2 is set to 0.
Jumbo frames result in the TX buffer descriptor buffer
length field being set to 0x000.
If the HUGE bit is set to 0, the frame is truncated. If
TXAJ is set, the
TX_WR logic stops processing frames
and sets the TXERR bit in the Ethernet Interrupt Status
register.
D07 R Not used 0x0 Always set to 0.
D06 R TXDEF 0x0 Transmit frame deferred
When set, indicates that the frame was deferred for at
least one attempt, but less than the maximum number
for an excessive deferral. TXDEF is also set when a
frame was deferred due to a collision.
This bit is not set for late collisions.
D05 R TXCRC 0x0 Transmit CRC error
When set, indicates that the attached CRC in the frame
did not match the internally-generated CRC. This bit is
not set if the MAC is inserting the CRC in the frame
(that is, the CRCEN bit is set in MAC Configuration
Register #2). If TXCRC is set, the
TX_WR logic stops
processing frames and sets the TXERR bit in the
Ethernet Interrupt Status register.
D04 R Not used 0x0 Always set to 0.
D03:00 R TXCOLC 0x0 Transmit collision count
Number of collisions the frame incurred during
transmission attempts.
