User manual
The Ethernet block is designed to provide optimized performance via DMA hardware
acceleration. Independent scatter/gather DMA engines connected to the AHB bus off-load
many data transfers from the CPU.
Descriptors, which are stored in memory, contain information about fragments of incoming
or outgoing Ethernet frames. A fragment may be an entire frame or a much smaller
amount of data. Each descriptor contains a pointer to a memory buffer that holds data
associated with a fragment, the size of the fragment buffer, and details of how the
fragment will be transmitted or received.
Descriptors are stored in arrays in memory, which are located by pointer registers in the
Ethernet block. Other registers determine the size of the arrays, point to the next
descriptor in each array that will be used by the DMA engine, and point to the next
descriptor in each array that will be used by the Ethernet device driver.
The DMA engine makes use of a Receive descriptor array and a Transmit descriptor array
in memory. All or part of an Ethernet frame may be contained in a memory buffer
associated with a descriptor. When transmitting, the transmit DMA engine uses as many
descriptors as needed (one or more) to obtain (gather) all of the parts of a frame, and
sends them out in sequence. When receiving, the receive DMA engine also uses as many
descriptors as needed (one or more) to find places to store (scatter) all of the data in the
received frame.
The base address registers for the descriptor array, registers indicating the number of
descriptor array entries, and descriptor array input/output pointers are contained in the
Ethernet block. The descriptor entries and all transmit and receive packet data are stored
in memory which is not a part of the Ethernet block. The descriptor entries tell where
related frame data is stored in memory, certain aspects of how the data is handled, and
the result status of each Ethernet transaction.

– The transmit DMA manager which reads descriptors and data from memory and
– The transmit retry module handling Ethernet retry and abort situations.
– The transmit flow control module which can insert Ethernet pause frames.
The receive data path, including:
– The receive DMA manager which reads descriptors from memory and writes data
– The Ethernet MAC which detects frame types by parsing part of the frame header.
– The receive filter which can filter out certain Ethernet frames by applying different
