Name

Description

 

 

 

31

Pause Frame

Asserted if the previous frame was a pause

 

 

frame that the MAC itself initiated in

 

 

response to a pause_req assertion.

 

 

 

30

Byte Valid

Asserted if a MAC frame byte (DA to FCS

 

 

inclusive) is in the process of being

 

 

transmitted. This is valid on every clock

 

 

cycle.

 

 

Do not use this as an enable signal to

 

 

indicate that data is present on gmii_txd.

 

 

 

29:20

Reserved

Always at logic 0.

 

 

 

19

VLAN Frame

Asserted if the previous frame contained a

 

 

VLAN identifier in the length/type field

 

 

when transmitter VLAN operation is

 

 

enabled.

 

 

 

18:5

Frame Length

The length of the previous frame in number

 

 

of bytes. The count will stick at 16,383 for

 

 

any jumbo frames larger than this value.

 

 

 

4

Control Frame

Asserted if the previous frame had the

 

 

special MAC Control Type code 88-08 in the

 

 

length/type field.

 

 

 

3

Underrun Frame

Asserted if the previous frame contained an

 

 

underrun error.

 

 

 

2

Multicast Frame

Asserted if the previous frame contained a

 

 

multicast address in the destination address

 

 

field.

 

 

 

1

Broadcast Frame

Asserted if the previous frame contained a

 

 

broadcast address in the destination address

 

 

field.

 

 

 

0

Successful Frame

Asserted if the previous frame was

 

 

transmitted without error.
