Read accessible always. INTR is
read only. INTR is cleared by
clearing all of the active individual
interrupt bits that have not been
masked out.
6
IENA
Interrupt Enable allows INTA to
be active if the Interrupt Flag is
set. If IENA = 0, then INTA will be
disabled regardless of the state
of INTR.
Read/Write accessible always.
IENA is set by writing a 1 and
cleared by writing a 0. IENA is
cleared
by
S_RESET and setting the STOP
bit.
H_RESET

5
RXON
Receive On indicates that the re-
ceive function is enabled. RXON
is set if DRX (CSR15, bit 0) is set
to 0 after the START bit is set. If
INIT and START are set together,
RXON will not be set until after
the initialization block has been
read in.
Read accessible always. RXON
is read only. RXON is cleared by
H_RESET or S_RESET and set-
ting the STOP bit.
4
TXON
Transmit On indicates that the
transmit function is enabled.
TXON is set if DTX (CSR15, bit 1)
is set to 0 after the START bit is
set. If INIT and START are set to-
gether, TXON will not be set until
after the initialization block has
been read in.
Read accessible always. TXON
is read only. TXON is cleared by
H_RESET or S_RESET and set-
ting the STOP bit.
3
TDMD
Transmit Demand, when set,
causes the Buffer Management
Unit to access the Transmit De-
scriptor Ring without waiting for
the poll-time counter to elapse. If
TXON is not enabled, TDMD bit
will be reset and no Transmit De-
scriptor Ring access will occur.
TDMD is required to be set if the
TXDPOLL bit in CSR4 is set. Set-
ting TDMD while TXDPOLL = 0
merely hastens the Am79C971
controller
’
s response to a Trans-
mit Descriptor Ring Entry.
Read/Write accessible always.
TDMD is set by writing a 1. Writ-
ing a 0 has no effect. TDMD will
be cleared by the Buffer Manage-
ment Unit when it fetches a
Transmit Descriptor. TDMD is
cleared
by
S_RESET and setting the STOP
bit.
H_RESET
or
2
STOP
STOP assertion disables the chip
from all DMA activity. The chip re-
mains inactive until either STRT
or INIT are set. If STOP, STRT
and INIT are all set together,
STOP will override STRT and
INIT.
Read/Write accessible always.
STOP is set by writing a 1, by
H_RESET or S_RESET. Writing
a 0 has no effect. STOP is
cleared by setting either STRT or
INIT.
1
STRT
STRT
Am79C971 controller to send and
receive frames, and perform buff-
er management operations. Set-
ting STRT clears the STOP bit. If
STRT and INIT are set together,
the Am79C971 controller initial-
ization will be performed first.

Read/Write accessible always.
STRT is set by writing a 1. Writing
a 0 has no effect. STRT is cleared
by H_RESET, S_RESET, or by
setting the STOP bit.

INIT
INIT
Am79C971 controller to begin the
initialization
procedure
reads in the initialization block
from memory. Setting INIT clears
the STOP bit. If STRT and INIT
are set together, the Am79C971
controller initialization will be per-
formed first. INIT is not cleared
when the initialization sequence
has completed.
