Figure 340. TxDMA operation in Default mode
TxDMA operation: OSF mode
While in the Run state, the transmit process can simultaneously acquire two frames without
closing the Status descriptor of the first (if the OSF bit is set in ETH_DMAOMR register[2]).
As the transmit process finishes transferring the first frame, it immediately polls the transmit
descriptor list for the second frame. If the second frame is valid, the transmit process
transfers this frame before writing the first frame’s status information. In OSF mode, the
Run-state transmit DMA operates according to the following sequence:
Start TxDMA
