3.12.6.2 TX Example 2
In this example, a single 183-Byte Ethernet packet will be transmitted. This packet is in a single buffer as follows:
• 2-Byte “Data Start Offset”
• 183-Bytes of payload data
• 4-Byte “Buffer End Alignment”
Figure 3-15, "TX Example 2" illustrates the TX command structure for this example, and also shows how data is passed
to the TX data FIFO. Note that the packet resides in a single TX Buffer, therefore both the FS and LS bits are set in TX
command ‘A’.
