Description

 

 

 

 

 

D12

R

RXBR

0

Receive broadcast packet

 

 

 

 

Set to 1 to indicate that the next packet in the

 

 

 

 

receive FIFO is a broadcast packet.

 

 

 

 

When this bit is set, the RXREGR and RXFIFOH bits

 

 

 

 

in the Ethernet General Status register become

 

 

 

 

active and the packet can be emptied (using

 

 

 

 

interrupts, polling, or DMA). When the packet has

 

 

 

 

been emptied, RXREGR and RXFIFOH become

 

 

 

 

inactive until the next receive buffer is ready.

 

 

 

 

 

D11

R

RXMC

0

Receive multicast packet

 

 

 

 

Set to 1 to indicate that the next packet in the

 

 

 

 

receive FIFO is a multicast packet.

 

 

 

 

When this bit is set, the RXREGR and RXFIFOH bits

 

 

 

 

in the Ethernet General Status register become

 

 

 

 

active and the packet can be emptied (using

 

 

 

 

interrupts, polling, or DMA). When the packet has

 

 

 

 

been emptied, RXREGR and RXFIFOH become

 

 

 

 

inactive until the next receive buffer is ready.

 

 

 

 

 

D10

R

RXCRC

0

Receive packet has CRC error

 

 

 

 

Set to 1 to indicate that the next packet in the

 

 

 

 

receive FIFO was received with a CRC error.

 

 

 

 

When this bit is set, the RXREGR and RXFIFOH bits

 

 

 

 

in the Ethernet General Status register remain

 

 

 

 

inactive. The bad receive packet is flushed

 

 

 

 

immediately from the FIFO.

 

 

 

 

 

D09

R

RXDR

0

Receive packet has dribble bit error

 

 

 

 

Set to 1 to indicate that, at the end of the next

 

 

 

 

packet in the receive FIFO, an additional 1 to 7 bits

 

 

 

 

of data (dribble nibble) were received.

Note: This packet is considered valid if the

RXCRC bit (D10) is not set.

When this bit is set, the RXREGR and RXFIFOH bits in the Ethernet General Status register remain inactive. The bad receive packet is flushed immediately from the FIFO.
