14.3.4.3.4 Receive Buffer Size Register (EMRBR)
The EMRBR is a 32-bit register with one 7-bit field programmed by the user. The EMRBR register dictates
the maximum size of all receive buffers. Note that because receive frames will be truncated at 2K-1 bytes,
only bits 21–27 are used. This value should take into consideration that the receive CRC is always written
into the last receive buffer. To allow one maximum size frame per buffer, EMRBR must be set to
RCR[MAX_FL] or larger. The EMRBR must be evenly divisible by 16. To insure this, bits 28-31 are
forced low. To minimize bus utilization (descriptor fetches) it is recommended that EMRBR be greater
than or equal to 256 bytes.
The EMRBR register does not reset, and must be initialized by the user.
