RECEIVE ERROR COUNTER (PHY_ADDR = 0X1, REG_ADDR = 12H)
This counter increments each time the BCM5722 Ethernet controller receives a non-collision packet containing at least one
receive error (freezes at the maximum value FFFFh). The counter automatically clears when read.
FALSE CARRIER SENSE COUNTER (PHY_ADDR = 0X1, REG_ADDR = 13H)
S3MII Error Counter increments each time the BCM5722 Ethernet controller detects a S3MII overrun/underrun event. False
Carrier Sense Counter increments each time the BCM5722 Ethernet controller detects a false carrier on the receive input.
These counters freeze at the maximum value FFh. The counters automatically clear when read.
