24.8 Programming the Ethernet Controller

The core conÞgures the SCC to operate as an Ethernet controller by setting GSMR[MODE]
to 0b1100. Receive and transmit errors are reported through RxBD and TxBD. Several
GSMR Þelds must be programmed to special values for Ethernet. Set DSR[SYN1] to 0x55
and DSR[SYN2] to 0xDE. The 6 bytes of preamble programmed in the GSMR, in
combination with the DSR programming, causes 8 bytes of preamble on transmit
(including the 1-byte start delimiter with the value 0xD5).

24.9 SCC Ethernet Commands

Transmit and receive commands are issued to the CP command register (CPCR).
Table 24-2 describes transmit commands.

0x9E

TADDR_H

Hword Allows addition and deletion of addresses from individual and group hash tables.

After placing an address in TADDR, issue a

SET

GROUP

ADDRESS

command.

TADDR_L (temp address low) is the least-signiÞcant half word and TADDR_H
(temp address high) is the most-signiÞcant half word.

0x A0

TADDR_M

0x A2

TADDR_L

1

From SCC base address. See Section 19.3.1, ÒSCC Base Addresses.Ó

Command

Description

STOP

TRANSMIT

When used with the Ethernet controller, this command violates a speciÞc behavior of an Ethernet/IEEE
802.3 station. It should not be used.

GRACEFUL

STOP

TRANSMIT

Used to ensure that transmission stops smoothly after the current frame Þnishes or has a collision.
SCCE[GRA] is set once transmission stops, at which point Ethernet transmit parameters and their BDs
can be updated. TBPTR points to the next TxBD. Transmission begins once the R bit of the next BD is
set and a

RESTART

TRANSMIT

command is issued.

Note that if

GRACEFUL

STOP

TRANSMIT

is issued and the current frame ends in a collision, TBPTR points

to the start of the collided frame with the R bit still set in the BD. The frame looks as if it was never sent.

RESTART

TRANSMIT

Enables transmission of characters on the transmit channel. The Ethernet controller expects it after a

GRACEFUL

STOP

TRANSMIT

command is issued or a transmitter error. The Ethernet controller resumes

transmission from the current TBPTR in the channel TxBD table.

INIT

TX

PARAMETERS

Initializes transmit parameters in this serial channel parameter RAM to reset state. Issue only when the
transmitter is disabled.

INIT

TX

and

RX

PARAMETERS

resets both transmit and receive parameters.
