Chapter 11: LPC24XX Ethernet
Memory traffic optimized by buffering and pre-fetching.
Enhanced Ethernet features:
Receive filtering.
Multicast and broadcast frame support for both transmit and receive.
Optional automatic FCS insertion (CRC) for transmit.
Selectable automatic transmit frame padding.
Over-length frame support for both transmit and receive allows any length frames.
Promiscuous receive mode.
Automatic collision backoff and frame retransmission.
Includes power management by clock switching.
Wake-on-LAN power management support allows system wake-up: using the
receive filters or a magic frame detection filter.
Physical interface:
Attachment of external PHY chip through standard Media Independent Interface
(MII) or standard Reduced MII (RMII) interface, software selectable.
PHY register access is available via the Media Independent Interface Management
(MIIM) interface.
