Register Descriptions
Table 13-98. SCC Register Bit Description
13.7.7 Excessive Collisions Count
ECOL (04018h; R)
When 16 or more collisions have occurred on a packet, this register increments, regardless of the
value of collision threshold. If collision threshold is set below 16, this counter won’t increment.
This register only increments if transmits are enabled and the Ethernet controller is in half-duplex
mode.
Table 13-99. ECOL Register Bit Description
13.7.8 Multiple Collision Count
MCC (0401Ch; R)
This register counts the number of times that a transmit encountered more than one collision but
less than 16. This register only increments if transmits are enabled and the Ethernet controller is in
half-duplex mode.
