Ethernet Communication Module
MAC Configuration Register #2
Address: A060 0404
MAC Configuration Register #2 provides additional bits that control functionality
within the Ethernet MAC block.
Register bit assignment
Bits Access Mnemonic Reset Definition
D31:15 N/A Reserved N/A N/A
D14 R/W EDEFER 0 Excess deferral
0 The MAC aborts when the excessive deferral limit is
reached (that is, 6071 nibble times in 100 Mbps mode
or 24,287 bit times in 10 Mbps mode).
1 Enables the MAC to defer to carrier indefinitely, as
per the 802.3u standard.
D13 R/W Not used 0 Always write to 0.
D12 R/W NOBO 0 No backoff
When this bit is set to 1, the MAC immediately retransmits
following a collision, rather than using the binary
exponential backoff algorithm (as specified in the 802.3u
standard).
D11:10 N/A Reserved N/A N/A
D09 R/W LONGP 0 Long preamble enforcement
0 Allows any length preamble (as defined in the 802.3u
standard).
1 The MAC allows only receive frames that contain
preamble fields less than 12 bytes in length.
