4.10.9 Basic I/O Mode Receive
I/O Mode receive operations occur in the fol-
lowing order (In this example, interrupts are
enabled to signal the presence of a valid re-
ceive frame):
1) A frame is received by the CS8900A, trig-

3) The host reads the frame data by execut-

base + 000Ch). If Rdy4TxNOW is set, the
frame can be written. If clear, the host must
wait for CS8900A buffer memory to be-
come available. If Rdy4TxiE (Register B,
BufCFG, Bit 8) is set, the host will be inter-
rupted when Rdy4Tx (Register C, BufE-
vent, Bit 8) becomes set. If the TxBidErr bit
(Register 18, BusST, Bit 7) is set, the trans-
mit length is not valid.

4.10.10 Accessing Internal Registers
To access any of the CS8900A's internal reg-
isters in I/O Mode, the host must first setup the
PacketPage Pointer. It does this by writing the
PacketPage address of the target register to
the PacketPage Pointer Port (I/O base +
000Ah). The contents of the target register is
then mapped into the PacketPage Data Port
(I/O base + 000Ch).
If the host needs to access a sequential block
of registers, the MSB of the PacketPage ad-
dress of the first word to be accessed should
be set to "1". The PacketPage Pointer will then
move to the next word location automatically,
eliminating the need to setup the PacketPage
Pointer between successive accesses (see
Figure 18).
4.10.11 Polling the CS8900A in I/O Mode
If interrupts are not used, the host can poll the
CS8900A to check if receive frames are pres-
ent and if memory space is available for trans-
mit.
base + 0000h) to transfer the frame from
CS8900A memory to host memory. Pre-
ceding the frame data are the contents of
the RxStatus register (PacketPage base +
0400h) and the RxLength register (Packet-
Page base + 0402h).
