36.5 Programming Model

The core configures each FCC to operate in the protocol specified in GFMR[MODE]. The HDLC

controller uses the same data structure as other modes. This data structure supports multibuffer operation

and address comparisons.

36.5.1 HDLC Command Set

The transmit and receive commands are issued to the CPCR; see Section14.4, “Command Set.”

Table36-2 describes the transmit commands that apply to the HDLC controller.

Table36-2. Transmit Commands
Command Description
STOP TRANSMIT After the hardware or software is reset and the channel is enabled in the FCC mode register, the
channel is in transmit enable mode and starts polling the first BD in the table every 256 transmit
clocks (immediately if FTODR[TOD] = 1). STOP TRANSMIT command disables the transmission of
frames on the transmit channel. If this command is received by the HDLC controller during frame
transmission, transmission is aborted after a maximum of 64 additional bits are sent and the transmit
FIFO buffer is flushed. The TBPTR is not advanced, no new BD is accessed, and no new frames
are sent for this channel. The transmitter sends an abort sequence consisting of 0x7F (if the
command was given during frame transmission) and begins sending flags or idles, as indicated by
the HDLC mode register. Note that if FPSMR[MFF] = 1, one or more small frames can be flushed
from the transmit FIFO buffer. The GRACEFUL STOP TRANSMIT command can be used to avoid this.
GRACEFUL STOP
TRANSMIT
Used to stop transmission smoothly rather than abruptly, as performed by the regular STOP TRANSMIT
command. It stops transmission after the current frame finishes sending or immediately if no frame
is being sent. FCCE[GRA] is set once transmission has stopped. Then the HDLC transmit
parameters (including BDs) can be modified. The TBPTR points to the next TxBD in the table.
Transmission begins once the R bit of the next BD is set and the RESTART TRANSMIT command is
issued.
