Data length and buffer pointer fields are described in Section 20.2, “SCC Buffer Descriptors (BDs).”
25.20 SCC Ethernet Event Register (SCCE)/Mask Register (SCCM)
The SCC event register (SCCE) is used as the Ethernet event register to generate interrupts and report
events recognized by the Ethernet channel. When an event is recognized, the Ethernet controller sets the
corresponding SCCE bit. Interrupts are enabled by setting, and masked by clearing, the equivalent bits in
the Ethernet mask register (SCCM). SCCE bits are cleared by writing ones; writing zeros has no effect.
All unmasked bits must be cleared before the CPM clears the internal interrupt request. The SCCE/SCCM
registers are displayed in Figure 25-9.
Table25-9 describes SCCE and SCCM fields.
10–13 RC Retry count. Indicates the number of retries required before the frame was sent successfully. If RC
= 0, the frame was sent correctly the first time. If RC = 15 and RET_LIM = 15 in the parameter RAM,
15 retries were required. Because the counter saturates at 15, if RC = 15 and RET_LIM> 15, then
15 or more retries were required. The controller writes this field after it successfully sends the buffer.
14 UN Underrun. Set when the Ethernet controller encounters a transmitter underrun while sending the
buffer. The Ethernet controller writes UN after it finishes sending the buffer.
15 CSL Carrier sense lost. Set when carrier sense is lost during frame transmission. The Ethernet controller
writes CSL after it finishes sending the buffer.

0–7 Reserved, should be cleared.
8 GRA Graceful stop complete. Set as soon the transmitter finishes any frame that was in progress when
a GRACEFUL STOP TRANSMIT command was issued. It is set immediately if no frame was in progress.
9–10 Reserved, should be cleared.
11 TXE Set when an error occurs on the transmitter channel.
12 RXF Rx frame. Set when a complete frame has been received on the Ethernet channel.
13 BSY Busy condition. Set when a frame is received and discarded due to a lack of buffers.
