28.5.3 MAC frame reception
The MAC received frames are pushes into the Rx FIFO. The status (fill level) of this FIFO is
indicated to the DMA once it crosses the configured receive threshold (RTC in the
ETH_DMAOMR register) so that the DMA can initiate pre-configured burst transfers
towards the AHB interface.
In the default Cut-through mode, when 64 bytes (configured with the RTC bits in the
ETH_DMAOMR register) or a full packet of data are received into the FIFO, the data are
popped out and the DMA is notified of its availability. Once the DMA has initiated the
transfer to the AHB interface, the data transfer continues from the FIFO until a complete
