Missed_Frame_And_Buffer_Overflow_Counter

The DMA maintains two counters to track the number of frames missed during reception. This register reports the current value of the counter. The counter is used for diagnostic purposes. Bits[15:0] indicate missed frames because of the host buffer being unavailable. Bits[27:17] indicate missed frames because of buffer overflow conditions (MTL and MAC) and runt frames (good frames of less than 64 bytes) dropped by the MTL.

Missed_Frame_And_Buffer_Overflow_Counter Fields

Bit Name Description Access Reset
28 ovfcntovf

Overflow bit for FIFO Overflow Counter

RO 0x0
27:17 ovffrmcnt

This field indicates the number of frames missed by the application. This counter is incremented each time the MTL asserts the sideband signal mtl_rxoverflow_o. The counter is cleared when this register is read with mci_be_i[2] at 1'b1.

RO 0x0
16 miscntovf

Overflow bit for Missed Frame Counter

RO 0x0
15:0 misfrmcnt

This field indicates the number of frames missed by the controller because of the Host Receive Buffer being unavailable. This counter is incremented each time the DMA discards an incoming frame. The counter is cleared when this register is read with mci_be_i[0] at 1'b1.
