Appendix A Glossary

Broadcast MAC Address— A special Ethernet MAC address used to send data to all Ethernet devices on the local network. The broadcast address is FFh-FFh-FFh-FFh-FFh-FFh. The LSB of the first byte is odd, qualifying it as a group address; however, its value is reserved for broadcast. It is classified separately by the EMAC.

Descriptor (Packet Buffer Descriptor)— A small memory structure that describes a larger block of memory in terms of size, location, and state. Descriptors are used by the EMAC and application to describe the memory buffers that hold Ethernet data.

Device — In this document, device refers to the TMS320DM36x processor.

Ethernet MAC Address (MAC Address)— A unique 6-byte address that identifies an Ethernet device on the network. In an Ethernet packet, a MAC address is used twice, first to identify the packet’s destination, and second to identify the packet’s sender or source. An Ethernet MAC address is normally specified in hexadecimal, using dashes to separate bytes. For example, 08h-00h-28h-32h-17h-42h.

The first three bytes normally designate the manufacturer of the device. However, when the first byte of the address is odd (LSB is 1), the address is a group address (broadcast or multicast). The second bit specifies whether the address is globally or locally administrated (not considered in this document).

Ethernet Packet (Packet)— An Ethernet packet is the collection of bytes that represents the data portion of a single Ethernet frame on the wire.

Full Duplex— Full-duplex operation allows simultaneous communication between a pair of stations using point-to-point media (dedicated channel). Full-duplex operation does not require that transmitters defer, nor do they monitor or react to receive activity, as there is no contention for a shared medium in this mode. Full-duplex mode can only be used when all of the following are true:

•The physical medium is capable of supporting simultaneous transmission and reception without interference.

•There are exactly two stations connected with a full duplex point-to-point link. As there is no contention for use of a shared medium, the multiple access (that is, CSMA/CD) algorithms are unnecessary.

•Both stations on the LAN are capable of, and have been configured to use, full-duplex operation.

The most common configuration envisioned for full-duplex operation consists of a central bridge (also known as a switch) with a dedicated LAN connecting each bridge port to a single device.

Full-duplex operation constitutes a proper subset of the MAC functionality required for half-duplex operation.

Half Duplex— In half-duplex mode, the CSMA/CD media access method is the means by which two or more stations share a common transmission medium. To transmit, a station waits (defers) for a quiet period on the medium, that is, no other station is transmitting. It then sends the intended message in bit-serial form. If, after initiating a transmission, the message collides with that of another station, then each transmitting station intentionally transmits for an additional predefined period to ensure propagation of the collision throughout the system. The station remains silent for a random amount of time (backoff) before attempting to transmit again.

Host— The host is an intelligent system resource that configures and manages each communications control module. The host is responsible for allocating memory, initializing all data structures, and responding to port (EMAC) interrupts. In this document, host refers to the DM36x device.

Jabber— A condition wherein a station transmits for a period of time longer than the maximum permissible packet length, usually due to a fault condition.

Link— The transmission path between any two instances of generic cabling.
