14.5.20 FEC Tx FIFO Watermark Register—MBAR + 0x3144
The X_WMRK register is a user programmable 4-bit read/write register that controls the amount of data required in the transmit FIFO before
transmission of a frame can begin. This lets the user minimize transmit latency (X_WMRK = 0000) or allows for larger bus access latency
(X_WMRK = 1111) due to contention for the system bus. Setting the watermark to a high value minimizes the risk of transmit FIFO underrun
due to contention for the system bus. The X_WMRK register resets to 0.
NOTE
This register value may need to be customized by software for specific FEC applications to be
compatible with specific FIFO/system bus access latency requirements.

Bits Name Description
0:31 GADDR2 The GADDR 2 register contains the lower 32bits of the 64-bit hash table used in the address
recognition process for receive frames with a multicast address.
Bit 31 contains hash index bit 31.
Bit 0 contains hash index bit 0.
