15.3.2 Software Configuration
To use the Ethernet Controller, it must be enabled by setting the EPHY0 and EMAC0 bits in the
RCGC2 register (see page 113). The following steps can then be used to configure the Ethernet
Controller for basic operation.
1. Program the MACDIV register to obtain a 2.5 MHz clock (or less) on the internal MII. Assuming
a 20-MHz system clock, the MACDIV value should be 0x03 or greater.
2. Program the MACIA0 and MACIA1 register for address filtering.
3. Program the MACTCTL register for Auto CRC generation, padding, and full-duplex operation
using a value of 0x16.
4. Program the MACRCTL register to flush the receive FIFO and reject frames with bad FCS using
a value of 0x18.
5. Enable both the Transmitter and Receive by setting the LSB in both the MACTCTL and
MACRCTL registers.
6. To transmit a frame, write the frame into the TX FIFO using the Ethernet MAC Data (MACDATA)
register. Then set the NEWTX bit in the Ethernet Mac Transmission Request (MACTR) register
to initiate the transmit process. When the NEWTX bit has been cleared, the TX FIFO is available
for the next transmit frame.
7. To receive a frame, wait for the NPR field in the Ethernet MAC Number of Packets (MACNP)
register to be non-zero. Then begin reading the frame from the RX FIFO by using the MACDATA
register. 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.
15.4 Ethernet Register Map
Table 15-2 on page 421 lists the Ethernet MAC registers. All addresses given are relative to the
Ethernet MAC base address of 0x4004.8000.
The IEEE 802.3 standard specifies a register set for controlling and gathering status from the PHY
layer. The registers are collectively known as the MII Management registers and are detailed in
Section 22.2.4 of the IEEE 802.3 specification. Table 15-2 on page 421 also lists these MII
Management registers. All addresses given are absolute and are written directly to the REGADR field
of the Ethernet MAC Management Control (MACMCTL) register. The format of registers 0 to 15
are defined by the IEEE specification and are common to all PHY layer implementations. The only
variance allowed is for features that may or may not be supported by a specific PHY implementation.
