TX buffer descriptor RAM
Address: A060 1000
The TX buffer descriptor RAM holds 64 transmit buffer descriptors on-chip. Each
buffer descriptor occupies four locations in the RAM, and the RAM is implemented as
a 256x32 device. This is the format of the TX buffer descriptor RAM:
Offset+0
Offset+4
Offset+8
Offset+C
See Figure 67, "Transmit buffer descriptor format," on page 327, for more information
about the fields in Offset+C.
