Reception

When the receive function is enabled and the CPU sets the receive request bit (RR) in the E-

DMAC receive request register (EDRRR), the E-DMAC reads the descriptor following the

previously used one from the receive descriptor list (in the initial state, the descriptor indicated by

the transmission descriptor start address register (TDLAR)), and then enters the receive-standby

state. If the setting of the RACT bit is "active" and an own-address frame is received, the E-

DMAC transfers the frame to the receive buffer specified by RD2. If the data length of the

received frame is greater than the buffer length given by RD1, the E-DMAC performs write-back

to the descriptor when the buffer is full (RFP = 10 or 00), then reads the next descriptor. The E-

DMAC then continues to transfer data to the receive buffer specified by the new RD2. When

frame reception is completed, or if frame reception is suspended because of a certain kind of error,

the E-DMAC performs write-back to the relevant descriptor (RFP = 11 or 01), and then ends the

receive processing. The E-DMAC then reads the next descriptor and enters the receive-standby

state again.

To receive frames continuously, the receive enable control bit (RNC) must be set to 1 in the

receive control register (RCR). After initialization, this bit is cleared to 0.
