The receive descriptor base address is a byte address aligned to a word boundary i.e.
LSB 1:0 are fixed to ’00’. The register contains the lowest address in the array of
descriptors.
7.2.4 Receive Status Base Address Register (RxStatus - 0xFFE0 010C)
The receive descriptor base address is a byte address aligned to a word boundary i.e.
LSB 1:0 are fixed to ’00’. The register contains the lowest address in the array of
descriptors.
The receive status base address is a byte address aligned to a double word boundary i.e.
LSB 2:0 are fixed to ’000’.
7.2.5 Receive Number of Descriptors Register (RxDescriptor - 0xFFE0 0110)
The Receive Number of Descriptors register (RxDescriptorNumber) has an address of
0xFFE0 0110. Its bit definition is shown in Table11–210.
The receive number of descriptors register defines the number of descriptors in the
descriptor array for which RxDescriptor is the base address. The number of descriptors
should match the number of statuses. The register uses minus one encoding i.e. if the
array has 8 elements, the value in the register should be 7.
7.2.6 Receive Produce Index Register (RxProduceIndex - 0xFFE0 0114)
The Receive Produce Index register (RxProduceIndex) is a Read Only register with an
address of 0xFFE0 0114. Its bit definition is shown in Table 11–211.
