www.ti.com Introduction 1.3 Functional Block Diagram Figure 1 shows the three main functional modules of the EMAC/MDIO peripheral: • EMAC control module • EMAC module • MDIO module The EMAC control module is the main interface between the device core processor to the EMAC and MDIO modules. The EMAC control module controls device interrupts and incorporates an 8k-byte internal RAM to hold EMAC buffer descriptors (also known as CPPI RAM). The MDIO module implements the 802.3 serial management inte

Architecture www.ti.com 1.4 Industry Standard(s) Compliance Statement The EMAC peripheral conforms to the IEEE 802.3 standard, describing the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) Access Method and Physical Layer specifications. The IEEE 802.3 standard has also been adopted by ISO/IEC and re-designated as ISO/IEC 8802-3:2000(E). However, the EMAC deviates from the standard in the way it handles transmit underflow errors. The EMAC MII interface does not use the Transmit

See the IEEE 802.3 standard document for in-depth information on the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) Access Method. 2.4.1 Ethernet Frame Format All the Ethernet technologies use the same frame structure. The format of an Ethernet frame is shown in Figure 4 and described in Table 3. The Ethernet packet, which is the collection of

Architecture www.ti.com 2.4.2 Ethernet’s Multiple Access Protocol Nodes in an Ethernet Local Area Network are interconnected by a broadcast channel -- when an EMAC port transmits a frame, all the adapters on the local network receive the frame. Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) algorithms are used when the EMAC operates in half-duplex mode. When operating in full-duplex mode, there is no contention for use of a shared medium because there are exactly two ports on t

Each descriptor Pointer describes a packet or a packet fragment. When a descriptor points to a single buffer packet or the first fragment of a packet, the start of packet (SOP) flag is set in the flags field. When a descriptor points to a single buffer packet or the last fragment of a packet, the end

Architecture www.ti.com 2.5.2 Transmit and Receive Descriptor Queues The EMAC module processes descriptors in linked lists as discussed in Section 2.5.1. The lists used by the EMAC are maintained by the application software through the use of the head descriptor pointer registers (HDP). The EMAC supports eight channels for transmit and eight channels for receive. The corresponding head descriptor pointers are: • TXnHDP - Transmit Channel n DMA Head Descriptor Pointer Register • RXnHDP - Receive
