Possible Miscalculation of Frame Check Sequence (FCS) in Transmit
Direction When Pad Count is Less than Two or Pad Adjust is Enabled
Description:
For channels configured in HDLC FCS-16 or FCS-32 modes, the FCS may be incorrectly calculated in the transmit
direction when the Pad Count is less than two, or the Pad Adjust is enabled.
Recommended Action:
1. Use Pad Count >= 2
and
2. Disable Pad Adjust.
Pad Count is set in the transmitted buffer descriptor (only for the last buffer in a message), in bits 25:18.
Pad Adjust is disabled by clearing bit #2 (TPADJ) in the TSLP Channel Configuration Register
(address 11000h + 4 * channel number).
The relative amount of bandwidth left unexploited by using this method is at most 4.44% for 40-byte packets.
