Table27-21 describes SMC C/I c hannel RxBD fields.

27.5.8 SMC GCI C/I Channel TxBD

The CP uses this BD, as seen in Figure 27-18, to report about the C/I channel transmit byte.

Table27-22 describes SMC C/I c hannel TxBD fields.

27.5.9 SMC GCI Event Register (SMC E)/Mask Register (SMCM)

The SMCE generates interrupts and report events recognized by the SMC channel. When an event is

recognized, the SMC sets its corresponding SMCE bit. SMCE bits are cleared by writing ones; writing

zeros has no effect. SMCM has the same bit format as SMCE. Setting an SMCM bit enables, and clearing

an SMCM bit disables, the corresponding interrupt. Unmasked bits must be cleared before the CP clears

Bits Name Description
0EEmpty.
0 Cleared by the CP to indicate that the byte associated with this BD is available to the core.
1 The core sets E to indicate that the byte associated with this BD has been read.
Note that additional data received is discarded until E bit is set.
1–7 Reserved, should be cleared.
8–13 C/I
DATA
Command/indication data bits. For C/I channel 0, bits 10–13 contain the 4-bit data field and bits 8–9
are always written with zeros. For C/I channel 1, bits 8–13 contain the 6-bit data field.
14–15 Reserved, should be cleared.

0 Cleared by the CP after transmission to indicate that the BD is available to the core.
1 Set by the core when data associated with this BD is ready for transmission.
1–7 Reserved, should be cleared.
8–13 C/I
DATA
Command/indication data bits. For C/I channel 0, bits 10–13 hold the 4-bit data field (bits 8 and 9
are always written with zeros). For C/I channel 1, bits 8–13 contain the 6-bit data field.
14–15 Reserved, should be cleared.
