Table 5-2: Bit Definition for the Receiver Statistics Vector

rx_statistics_vector

bit(s) Name Description

27 Address Match If the optional Address Filter is included in the

core, this bit is asserted if the address of the

incoming frame matches one of the stored or

pre-set addresses in the Address Filter. If the

Address Filter is omitted from the core, or is

configured in promiscuous mode, this line is

held high.

26 Reserved Always at logic 0.

25 Length/Type

Out of Range

If the length/type field contained a length

value that did not match the number of MAC

client data bytes received and the length/type

field checks are enabled, then this bit is

asserted.

This bit is also asserted if the length/type field

is less than 46 and the frame is not padded to

exactly 64 bytes. This is independent of

whether or not the length/type field checks

are enabled.

24 Bad Opcode Asserted if the previous frame was error-free

and contained the special control frame

identifier in the length/type field, but

contained an opcode that is unsupported by

the MAC (any opcode other than Pause).

23 Flow Control

Frame

Asserted if the previous frame met all the

following conditions:

•error-free

•contained the special control frame

identifier in the length/type field

•contained a destination address that

matched either the MAC Control Multicast

Address or the configured source address

of the MAC

•contained the supported Pause opcode

•was acted upon by the MAC

22 Byte Valid Asserted if a MAC frame byte (DA to FCS

inclusive) is in the process of being received.

This is valid on every clock cycle.

Do not use this as an enable signal to indicate

that data is present on rx_data.

21 VLAN frame Asserted if the previous frame contained a

VLAN identifier in the length/type field when

receiver VLAN operation is enabled.
