CNTR_RX_CONFIG

Bits[2:0]: Configuration of RX statistics counters:
  • Bit[2]: Shadow request (active high): When set to the value of 1, RX statistics collection is paused. The underlying counters continue to operate, but the readable values reflect a snapshot at the time the pause flag was activated. Write a 0 to release.
  • Bit[1]: Parity-error clear. When software sets this bit, the IP core clears the parity bit CNTR_RX_STATUS[0]. This bit (CNTR_RX_CONFIG[1]) is self-clearing.
  • Bit[0]: Software can set this bit to the value of 1 to reset all of the RX statistics registers at the same time. This bit is self-clearing.
Bits[31:3] are Reserved. 		RW
0x946 CNTR_RX_STATUS
  • Bit[1]: Indicates that the RX statistics registers are paused (while CNTR_RX_CONFIG[2] is asserted).
  • Bit[0]: Indicates the presence of at least one parity error in the RX statistics counters.
Bits [31:2] are Reserved. 		RO
0x947–0x95F

Reserved

If VLAN detection is turned off for the RX MAC (bit [1] of the RXMAC_CONTROL register at offset 0x50A has the value of 1), the IP core counts the VLAN header bytes (4 bytes for VLAN and 8 bytes for stacked VLAN) as payload bytes. This register is compliant with the requirements for aOctetsReceivedOK in section 5.2.2.1.14 of the IEEE Standard 802.3-2008. RO
0x961 RxPayloadOctetsOK_HI RO
0x962 RxFrameOctetsOK_LO Number of received bytes in frames with no FCS, undersized, oversized, or payload length errors. This register is compliant with the requirements for ifInOctets in RFC3635 (Managed Objects for Ethernet-like Interface Types) and RX etherStatsOctets in RFC2819 (Remote Network Monitoring Management Information Base (RMON)).
