Processor Interface Registers (Group PROC)
Interrupt and Interrupt Mask Register
At power-up, all the interrupts are masked. The processor must write to the INTerruptMASK register to enable desired interrupts. Every
interrupt source is cleared by reading the interrupt register. Masked interrupts are asserted in the interrupt register, but not at the
interrupt pin, allowing the processor to determine the interrupt status by polling without being interrupted.
INTERRUPT (Register 40)
INTerruptMASK (Interrupt Mask. Register 42)
FrameBuffer Frame Buffer (Register 48)
The Frame Buffer is a 16 bit by 4 words deep FIFO, between the processor interface and the DRAM interface. Frames from the LAN or
the WAN, or both ports destined for the processor will transition through this Frame Buffer, and likewise, frames destined for either the
LAN or WAN, or both, ports from the processor will transition through this Frame Buffer.
