SRIO Functional Description
Teardown of an Rx queue causes the following actions:
If teardown is issued by software during the time when the RX state machine is idle, then the state
machine will immediately start the teardown procedure:
If the queue to be torn down is in-message (waiting for one or more segments), then the queue will
be torn down and reported with the current buffer descriptor (teardown bit set, ownership bit
cleared, CC = 100b). All other fields of the buffer descriptor are invalid. The peripheral completes
the teardown procedure by clearing the HDP register, setting the CP register to 0xFFFFFFFC, and
issuing an interrupt for the given queue. The teardown command register bit is automatically
cleared by the peripheral.
If the queue is not in-message, and active (next descriptor available), then the next descriptor will
be fetched and updated to report teardown (teardown bit set, ownership bit cleared, CC = 100b). All
other fields of the buffer descriptor are invalid. The peripheral completes the teardown procedure by
clearing the HDP register, setting the CP register to 0xfffffffC, and issuing an interrupt for the given
queue. The teardown command register bit is automatically cleared by the peripheral.
If the queue is not in-message, but inactive (next descriptor unavailable), then no additional buffer
descriptor will be written. The HDP register and the CP register remain unchanged. An interrupt is
not issued. The teardown command register bit is automatically cleared by the peripheral.
If teardown is issued by software during the time when the RXU state machine is busy, the teardown
procedure will be postponed until the state machine is idle.
After the teardown process is complete and the interrupt is serviced by the CPU, the software must
re-initialize the RX queue to restart normal operation.
The buffer descriptor queues are maintained in local SRAM just outside of the peripheral. This allows the
quickest access time, while maintaining a level of configurability for device implementation. The SRAM is
accessible by the CPU through the configuration bus. Alternatively, the buffer descriptors could use L2
memory as well.
