Multi-Buffer Frame Receive Processing
If an error occurs during multi-buffer frame reception, the processing shown in figure 21.7 is
carried out by the E-DMAC.
Where the receive descriptor is shown as inactive (RACT bit = 0) in the figure, buffer data has
already been received normally, and where the receive descriptor is shown as active (RACT bit =
1), this indicates a buffer for which reception has not yet been performed. If a frame receive error
occurs in the first descriptor part where the RACT bit = 1 in the figure, reception is halted
immediately and a status write-back to the descriptor is performed.
If error interrupts are enabled in the EtherC/E-DMAC status interrupt permission register
(EESIPR), an interrupt is generated immediately after the write-back. If there is a new frame
receive request, reception is continued from the buffer after that in which the error occurred.
