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 3.16, "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’.
TX Command 'A'
Buffer End Alignment = 0
