2.5.5.3Buffer Offset

This 16-bit field must be initialized to zero by the software application before adding the descriptor to a receive queue.

Whether or not this field is updated depends on the setting of the RXBUFFEROFFSET register. When the offset register is set to a non-zero value, the received packet is written to the packet buffer at an offset given by the value of the register, and this value is also written to the buffer offset field of the descriptor.

When a packet is fragmented over multiple buffers because it does not fit in the first buffer supplied, the buffer offset only applies to the first buffer in the list, which is where the start of packet (SOP) flag is set in the corresponding buffer descriptor. In other words, the buffer offset field is only updated by the EMAC on SOP descriptors.

The range of legal values for the BUFFEROFFSET register is 0 to (Buffer Length – 1) for the smallest value of buffer length for all descriptors in the list.
