26.4.8 SMC Transparent RxBD

Using BDs, the CP reports information about the received data for each buffer and closes

the current buffer, generates a maskable interrupt, and starts to receive data into the next

buffer after one of the following events:

¥ An overrun error occurs.

¥ A full receive buffer is detected.

¥ The ENTER HUNT MODE command is issued.

Table 26-13 describes SMC transparent RxBD Þelds.

Table 26-13. SMC Transparent RxBD Field Descriptions

Bits Name Description
0EEmpty.
0 The buffer is full or reception was aborted due to an error. The core can read or write any Þelds of
this RxBD. The CP does not use this BD while E = 0.
1 The buffer is empty or is receiving data. The CP owns this RxBD and its buffer. Once E is set, the
core should not write any Þelds of this RxBD.
1 Ñ Reserved, should be cleared.
2WWrap (last BD in RxBD table).
0 Not the last BD in the table.
1 Last BD in the table. After this buffer is used, the CP receives incoming data into the Þrst BD that
RBASE points to. The number of RxBDs is determined only by the W bit and overall space
constraints of the dual-port RAM.
3IInterrupt.
0 No interrupt is generated after this buffer is Þlled.
1 SMCE[RXB] is set when the CP completely Þlls this buffer indicating that the core must process the
buffer. The RXB bit can cause an interrupt if it is enabled.
4Ð5 Ñ Reserved, should be cleared.
6CM Continuous mode.
0 Normal operation.
1 The CP does not clear E after this BD is closed, allowing the buffer to be overwritten when the CP
next accesses this BD. However, E is cleared if an error occurs during reception, regardless of how
CM is set.
7Ð13 Ñ Reserved, should be cleared.
14 OV Overrun. Set when a receiver overrun occurs during reception. The CP writes OV after the received
data is placed into the buffer.
15 Ñ Reserved, should be cleared.
