Initialization Block
Note: When SSIZE32 (BCR20, bit 8) is set to 0, the
software structures are defined to be 16 bits wide. The
base address of the initialization block must be aligned
to a DWord boundary, i.e., CSR1, bit 1 and 0 must be
cleared to 0. When SSIZE32 is set to 0, the initialization
block looks like Table 78.
Note: The Am79C978 controller performs DWord ac-
cesses to read the initialization block. This statement is
RLEN and TLEN
When SSIZE32 (BCR20, bit 8) is set to 0, the software
structures are defined to be 16 bits wide, and the RLEN
and TLEN fields in the initialization block are each three
bits wide. The values in these fields determine the num-
ber of transmit and receive Descriptor Ring Entries
(DRE) which are used in the descriptor rings. Their
meaning is shown in Table 80. If a value other than those

always true, regardless of the setting of the SSIZE32
bit.
When SSIZE32 (BCR20, bit 8) is set to 1, the software
structures are defined to be 32 bits wide. The base ad-
dress of the initialization block must be aligned to a
DWord boundary, i.e., CSR1, bits 1 and 0 must be

written after initialization is complete.
When SSIZE32 (BCR20, bit 8) is set to 1, the software
structures are defined to be 32 bits wide, and the RLEN
and TLEN fields in the initialization block are each 4 bits
wide. The values in these fields determine the number
of transmit and receive Descriptor Ring Entries (DRE)
which are used in the descriptor rings. Their meaning
is shown in Table 81.
