0x00 RBASE Hword RxBDs and TxBDs base address. (BD table pointer) Define starting points in the
dual-port RAM of the set of BDs for the SMC send and receive functions. They allow
flexible partitioning of the BDs. By selecting RBASE and TBASE entries for all SMCs
and by setting W in the last BD in each list, BDs are allocated for the send and receive
side of every SMC. Initialize these entries before enabling the corresponding channel.
Configuring BD tables of two enabled SMCs to overlap causes erratic operation.
RBASE and TBASE should be a multiple of eight.
0x02 TBASE Hword
0x04 RFCR Byte Rx/Tx function code. See Section 27.2.3.1, “SMC Function Code Registers
(RFCR/TFCR) .”
0x05 TFCR Byte
0x06 MRBLR Hword Maximum receive buffer length. The most bytes the PowerQUICC II writes to a receive
buffer before moving to the next buffer. It can write fewer bytes than MRBLR if a
condition like an error or end-of-frame occurs, but it cannot exceed MRBLR.
PowerQUICC II buffers should not be smaller than MRBLR. SMC transmit buffers are
unaffected by MRBLR.
Transmit buffers can be individually given varying lengths through the data length field.
MRBLR can be changed while an SMC is operating only if it is done in a single bus
cycle with one 16-bit move (not two 8-bit bus cycles back-to-back). This occurs when
the CP shifts control to the next RxBD, so the change does not take effect immediately.
To guarantee the exact RxBD on which the change occurs, change MRBLR only while
the SMC receiver is disabled. MRBLR should be greater than zero and should be even
if character length exceeds 8 bits.
0x08 RSTATE Word Rx internal state. 2 Can be used only by the CP.
0x0C — Word Rx internal data pointer. 2 Updated by the SDMA channels to show the next address in
the buffer to be accessed.
0x10 RBPTR Hword RxBD pointer. Points to the next BD for each SMC channel that the receiver transfers
data to when it is in idle state, or to the current BD during frame processing. After a
reset or when the end of the BD table is reached, the CP initializes RBPTR to the value
in RBASE. Most applications never need to write RBPTR, but it can be written when
the receiver is disabled or when no receive buffer is in use.
0x12 — Hword Rx internal byte count.
2
A down-count value initialized with the MRBLR value and
decremented with every byte the SDMA channels write.
0x14 — Word Rx temp 2 Can be used only by the CP.
0x18 TSTATE Word Tx internal state. 2 Can be used only by the CP.
0x1C — Word Tx internal data pointer.
2
Updated by the SDMA channels to show the next address in
the buffer to be accessed.
0x20 TBPTR Hword TxBD pointer. Points to the next BD for each SMC channel the transmitter transfers
data from when it is in idle state or to the current BD during frame transmission. After
reset or when the end of the table is reached, the CP initializes TBPTR to the TBASE
value. Most applications never need to write TBPTR, but it can be written when the
transmitter is disabled or when no transmit buffer is in use. For instance, after a
STOP
TRANSMIT or GRACEFUL STOP TRANSMIT command is issued and the frame completes its
transmission.
0x22 — Hword Tx internal byte count.
2
A down-count value initialized with the TxBD data length and
decremented with every byte the SDMA channels read.
