3.1.1 Normal Rx FIFO Data Unloading at locations 0x100, 0x300, 0x500, 0x700
The RX FIFO data (up to the maximum 64 bytes) can be read out in a single burst 32-bit read operation
(maximum 16 DWORD reads) at memory locations 0x100 (channel 0), 0x300 (channel 1), 0x500
(channel 2) and 0x700 (channel 3). This operation is at least 16 times faster than reading the data in 64
separate 8-bit memory reads of RHR register (0x000 for channel 0, 0x200 for channel 1, 0x400 for channel 2
and 0x600 for channel 3).

3.1.2 Special Rx FIFO Data Unloading at locations 0x180, 0x380, 0x580, and 0x780
The XR17V254 also provides the same RX FIFO data along with the LSR status information of each byte side-
by-side, at locations 0x180 (channel 0), 0x380 (channel 1), 0x580 (channel 2) and 0x780 (channel 3). The
entire RX data along with the status can be downloaded in a single PCI Burst Read operation of 32 DWORD
reads. The Status and Data bytes must be read in 16 or 32 bits format to maintain data integrity. The following
tables show this clearly.
