TXOFF

0x000

Contains a 10-bit byte offset from the start of the transmit

 

 

 

 

 

ring in the TX buffer descriptor RAM. The offset is

 

 

 

 

 

updated at the end of the TX packet, and will have the

offset to the next buffer descriptor that will be used. TXOFF can be used to determine from where the TX_WR logic will grab the next packet.

So the RX_RD logic knows when the software is freeing a buffer for reuse, the software writes to the RXFREE register each time it frees a buffer in one of the pools. RXFREE has an individual bit for each pool; this bit is set to 1 when the register is written. Reads to RXFREE always return all 0s.
