MOTOROLA Chapter 6. Programming Model 6-17
PRELIMINARYÑSUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE
for the system bus. Setting the watermark to a high value lowers the risk of a transmit FIFO
underrun due to system bus contention.
Table 6-19 bit Þeld descriptions for X_WMRK.
6.2.18 FIFO Transmit Start Register (X_FSTART)
The X_FSTART register, shown in Figure 6-18, can be programmed by the user to indicate
the starting address of the transmit FIFO. X_FSTART is reset to the Þrst available RAM
address. The speciÞc reset value is microcode-dependent. Users do not normally need to
program X_FSTART. If users want to reserve RAM locations for other purposes,
X_FSTART should never be set to value less than reset value.

0Ð29 Ñ Reserved. Should be written to zero by the host processor.
30Ð31 X_WMRK Transmit FIFO watermark. Frame transmission begins when the number of bytes selected by
this Þeld have been written into the transmit FIFO or if an end of frame has been written to the
FIFO or if the FIFO is full before the selected number of bytes have been written.
0x 64 bytes written to the transmit FIFO
