In order to read received frames from RXQ without error, the software driver must use following steps:
EEPROM Interface
It is optional in the KSZ8851SNL to use an external EEPROM. The EED_IO (pin 6) must be pulled high to use external
EEPROM otherwise this pin pulled low or floating without EEPROM.
An external serial EEPROM with a standard microwire bus interface is used for non-volatile storage of information such as
the host MAC address. The KSZ8851SNL can detect if the EEPROM is a 1KB (93C46) or 4KB (93C66) EEPROM device
(the 93C46 and the 93C66 are typical EEPROM devices). The EEPROM must be organized as 16-bit mode.
If the EED_IO pin is pulled high, then the KSZ8851SNL performs an automatic read of the external EEPROM words 0H to
3H after the de-assertion of Reset. The EEPROM values are placed in certain host-accessible registers. EEPROM
read/write functions can also be performed by software read/writes to the EEPCR (0x22) registers.
The KSZ8851SNL EEPROM format is given in Table 12.

1. When receive interrupt occurred and software driver writes “1” to clear the RX interrupt in ISR register; the
2. When software driver reads back Receive Frame Count (RXFCTR) Register; the KSZ8851 will update both

KSZ8851 will update Receive Frame Counter (RXFCTR) Register for this interrupt.
