29.7.1 FCC Function Code Regis ters (FCR
x
)

The function code registers contain the transaction specification assoc iated with SDMA channel accesses

to external memory. Figure29-7 shows the format of the transmit and receive function code registers,

which reside at TSTATE[0–7] and RSTATE[0–7] in the FCC parameter RAM (see Table29-4).

FCRx fields are described in Table29-5.

0x1C TBASE Word TxBD base address (must be divisible by eight). Defines the starting location in the
memory map for the FCC TxBDs. This provides great flexibility in how FCC TxBDs are
partitioned. By selecting TBASE entries for all FCCs and by setting the W bit in the last
BD in each BD table, the user can select how many BDs to allocate for the transmit side
of every FCC. The user must initialize TBASE before enabling the corresponding channel.
Furthermore, the user should not configure BD tables of two enabled FCCs to overlap or
erratic operation occurs.
0x20 TBDSTAT Hword TxBD status and control. Reserved for CP use only.
0x22 TBDLEN Hword TxBD data length. A down-count value initialized with the TxBD data length and
decremented with every byte read by the SDMA channels.
0x24 TDPTR Word TxBD data pointer. Updated by the SDMA channels to show the next address in the buffer
to be accessed.
0x28 RBPTR Word RxBD pointer. Points to the next BD that the receiver transfers data to when it is in idle
state or to the current BD during frame processing. After a reset or when the end of the
BD table is reached, the CP sets RBPTR = RBASE. Although the user need never write
to RBPTR in most applications, the user can modify it when the receiver is disabled or
when no receive buffer is in use.
0x2C TBPTR Word TxBD pointer. Points either to the next BD that the transmitter transfers data from when it
is in idle state or to the current BD during frame transmission. After a reset or when the
end of the BD table is reached, the CP sets TBPTR = TBASE. Although the user need
never write to TBPTR in most applications, the user can modify it when the transmitter is
disabled or when no transmit buffer is in use (after a STOP TRANSMIT or GRACEFUL STOP
TRANSMIT command is issued and the frame completes transmission).
0x30 RCRC Word Temporary receive CRC
0x34 Word Reserved
0x38 TCRC Word Temporary transmit CRC
0x3C Word First word of protocol-specific area
1 Offset from FCC base: 0x8400 (FCC1), 0x8500 (FCC2) and 0x8600 (FCC3); see Section14.5.2, “Parameter RAM.”
