RM0090 Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller

33.8.4 DMA register description
This section defines the bits for each DMA register. Non-32 bit accesses are allowed as long
as the address is word-aligned.
Ethernet DMA bus mode register (ETH_DMABMR)
Address offset: 0x1000
Reset value: 0x0002 0101
The bus mode register establishes the bus operating modes for the DMA.

Bits 31:27 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 26 MB: Mixed burst
When this bit is set high and the FB bit is low, the AHB master interface starts all bursts of a
length greater than 16 with INCR (undefined burst). When this bit is cleared, it reverts to
fixed burst transfers (INCRx and SINGLE) for burst lengths of 16 and below.
Bit 25 AAB: Address-aligned beats
When this bit is set high and the FB bit equals 1, the AHB interface generates all bursts
aligned to the start address LS bits. If the FB bit equals 0, the first burst (accessing the data
buffer’s start address) is not aligned, but subsequent bursts are aligned to the address.
Bit 24 FPM: 4xPBL mode
When set high, this bit multiplies the PBL value programmed (bits [22:17] and bits [13:8])
four times. Thus the DMA transfers data in a maximum of 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128 beats
depending on the PBL value.
Bit 23 USP: Use separate PBL
When set high, it configures the RxDMA to use the value configured in bits [22:17] as PBL
while the PBL value in bits [13:8] is applicable to TxDMA operations only. When this bit is
cleared, the PBL value in bits [13:8] is applicable for both DMA engines.
Bits 22:17 RDP: Rx DMA PBL
These bits indicate the maximum number of beats to be transferred in one RxDMA
transaction. This is the maximum value that is used in a single block read/write operation.
The RxDMA always attempts to burst as specified in RDP each time it starts a burst transfer
on the host bus. RDP can be programmed with permissible values of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32.
Any other value results in undefined behavior.
These bits are valid and applicable only when USP is set high.
Bit 16 FB: Fixed burst
This bit controls whether the AHB Master interface performs fixed burst transfers or not.
When set, the AHB uses only SINGLE, INCR4, INCR8 or INCR16 during start of normal
burst transfers. When reset, the AHB uses SINGLE and INCR burst transfer operations.
