Register 13: Ethernet MAC Number of Packets (MACNP), offset 0x034
This register holds the number of frames that are currently in the RX FIFO. When NPR is 0, there
are no frames in the RX FIFO, and the RXINT bit is clear. When NPR is any other value, at least
one frame is in the RX FIFO, and the RXINT bit in the MACRIS register is set.
Note: The FCS bytes are not included in the NPR value. As a result, the NPR value could be zero
before the FCS bytes are read from the FIFO. In addition, a new packet could be received
before the NPR value reaches zero. To ensure that the entire packet is received, either use
the DriverLib EthernetPacketGet() API or compare the number of bytes received to the
Length field from the frame to determine when the packet has been completely read.

Software should not rely on the value of a reserved bit. To provide
compatibility with future products, the value of a reserved bit should be
preserved across a read-modify-write operation.

Number of Packets in Receive FIFO
The NPR bits represent the number of packets stored in the RX FIFO.
While the NPRfield is greater than 0, the RXINTinterrupt in the MACRIS
register is set.
