6 Blocks description
SPEAR-07-NC03
RA
: Receive All. When set, all incoming packets will be received, regardless of the destination
address. The address match checked according to Table 22, and is reported in Transmit Status.
BLE
: Endian mode. When BLE is set, the MAC operates in the big Endian mode. When BLE is
reset, the MAC operates in the little Endian mode. The Endian mode is only for the data buffers.
HBD
: Heart Beat Disable. When set, the heartbeat signal quality (SQE) generator function is
disabled. This bit should be set in the MII Mode.
PS
: Port Select. When reset, the MII port is selected and when set, the SRL (ENDEC) port is
selected for transmit/receive operations on the Ethernet side.
DRO
: DRO-Disable Receive Own. When DRO is set, the MAC110 disables the reception of
frames when the TXEN is asserted. The MAC110 will block the transmitted frame on the
receive path. When DSO is reset, the MAC110 receives all the packets that are given by the
PHY including those transmitted by the MAC100. This bit should be reset when the Full Duplex
Mode bit is set or the Operating Mode is not set to 'Normal Mode'.
OM
: OM-Loop-Back Operating Mode. This bit selects the Loop-Back operation modes for the
MAC110. This setting is only for Full Duplex Mode.
In the Internal Loop-Back mode, the TX frame is received by the MII, and turned around back to
the MAC110. In the External mode however, the TX frame is sent up to the PHY. The PHY will
then turn that TX frame back to be received by the MAC110.
Note:
that in the External mode the application has to set the PHY in Loop-Back mode by setting bit-
14 in the register space of the PHY. (IEEE802.3 sec.22.2.4.1)
FDM
: Full Duplex Mode. When Set, the MAC operates in a full-duplex mode where it can
transmit and receive simultaneously. While in full-duplex mode: heartbeat check is disabled,
heartbeat fail status should be ignored, and internal loop back is not allowed.
PAM
: Pass All Multicast. When set, indicates that all the incoming frames with a multicast
destination address (first bit in the destination address field is '1' are received. Incoming frames
with physical address destinations are filtered only if the address matches with the MAC
Address.
PRM
: Promiscuous Mode. When set, indicates that any incoming valid frame is received
regardless of its destination address.
IF
: IF-Inverse filtering. When IF is set, Address Check block operates in the inverse filtering
mode. This is valid only during perfect filtering mode.
PBF
: Pass Bad Frames. When set, all incoming frames that passed the address filtering are
received, including runt frames, collided frames, or truncated frames caused by Buffer
underflow.
HPFM
: Hash/Perfect Filtering Mode. When reset, the Address Check block does a perfect
address filter of incoming frames according the address specified in the MAC Address register.
When set, the Address Check block does imperfect address filtering of multicast incoming
frames according to the hash table specified in the multicast Hash Table Register. If the Hash
