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

Figure 299. Frame transmission in MMI and RMII modes
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 packet has
been transferred. Upon completion of the EOF frame transfer, the status word is popped out
and sent to the DMA controller.
In Rx FIFO Store-and-forward mode (configured by the RSF bit in the ETH_DMAOMR
register), a frame is read out only after being written completely into the Receive FIFO. In
this mode, all error frames are dropped (if the core is configured to do so) such that only
valid frames are read out and forwarded to the application. In Cut-through mode, some error
frames are not dropped, because the error status is received at the end of the frame, by
which time the start of that frame has already been read out of the FIFO.
A receive operation is initiated when the MAC detects an SFD on the MII. The core strips the
preamble and SFD before proceeding to process the frame. The header fields are checked
for the filtering and the FCS field used to verify the CRC for the frame. The frame is dropped
in the core if it fails the address filter.
Receive protocol
The received frame preamble and SFD are stripped. Once the SFD has been detected, the
MAC starts sending the Ethernet frame data to the receive FIFO, beginning with the first
byte following the SFD (destination address). If IEEE 1588 time stamping is enabled, a
snapshot of the system time is taken when any frame's SFD is detected on the MII. Unless
the MAC filters out and drops the frame, this time stamp is passed on to the application.
