Offset + 0 Bit 7 M Miss. Written by the FEC. This bit is set by the FEC for frames
that were accepted in promiscuous mode, but were flagged as
a “miss” by the internal address recognition. Thus, while in
promiscuous mode, the user can use the M-bit to quickly
determine whether the frame was destined to this station. This
bit is valid only if the L-bit is set and the PROM bit is set.
0 The frame was received because of an address recognition
hit.
1 The frame was received because of promiscuous mode.
Offset + 0 Bit 8 BC Will be set if the DA is broadcast (FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF).
Offset + 0 Bit 9 MC Will be set if the DA is multicast and not BC.
Offset + 0 Bit 10 LG Rx frame length violation. Written by the FEC. A frame length
greater than RCR[MAX_FL] was recognized. This bit is valid
only if the L-bit is set. The receive data is not altered in any way
unless the length exceeds 2047 bytes.
Offset + 0 Bit 11 NO Receive non-octet aligned frame. Written by the FEC. A frame
that contained a number of bits not divisible by 8 was received,
and the CRC check that occurred at the preceding byte
boundary generated an error. This bit is valid only if the L-bit is
set. If this bit is set the CR bit will not be set.
Offset + 0 Bit 12 — Reserved.
Offset + 0 Bit 13 CR Receive CRC error. Written by the FEC. This frame contains a
CRC error and is an integral number of octets in length. This bit
is valid only if the L-bit is set.
Offset + 0 Bit 14 OV Overrun. Written by the FEC. A receive FIFO overrun occurred
during frame reception. If this bit is set, the other status bits, M,
LG, NO, CR, and CL lose their normal meaning and will be
zero. This bit is valid only if the L-bit is set.
Offset + 0 Bit 15 TR Will be set if the receive frame is truncated (frame length >
2047 bytes). If the TR bit is set the frame should be discarded
and the other error bits should be ignored as they may be
incorrect.
Offset + 2 Bits [0:15] Data Length Data length. Written by the FEC. Data length is the number of
8-bit data groups (octets) written by the FEC into this BD’s data
buffer if L = 0 (the value will be equal to EMRBR), or the length
of the frame including CRC if L = 1. It is written by the FEC after
as the BD is closed.
0ffset + 4 Bits [0:15] A[0:15]] RX data buffer pointer, bits [0:15]
1
Offset + 6 Bits [0:15] A[16:31] RX data buffer pointer, bits [16:31]
1
The receive buffer pointer, which contains the address of the associated data buffer, must always be evenly
divisible by 16. The buffer must reside in memory external to the FEC. This value is never modified by the
Ethernet controller.
