FRAME ENGINE AND DATA LINK MANAGER 32A256
LINK[4:0]:
The indirect link number bits (LINK[4:0]) select amongst the 32 transmit links
to be configured or interrogated in the indirect access.
Reserved:
The reserved bits must be set low for correct operation of the FREEDM-
32A256 device.
RWB:
The indirect access control bit (RWB) selects between a configure (write) or
interrogate (read) access to the transmit channel provision RAM. The
address to the transmit channel provision RAM is constructed by
concatenating the TSLOT[4:0] and LINK[4:0] bits. Writing a logic zero to
RWB triggers an indirect write operation. Data to be written is taken from the
PROV and the CHAN[7:0] bits of the Indirect Data register. Writing a logic
one to RWB triggers an indirect read operation. Addressing of the RAM is the
same as in an indirect write operation. The data read can be found in the
PROV and the CHAN[7:0] bits of the Indirect Channel Data register.
BUSY:
The indirect access status bit (BUSY) reports the progress of an indirect
access. BUSY is set high when this register is written to trigger an indirect
access, and will stay high until the access is complete. At which point, BUSY
will be set low. This register should be polled to determine when data from an
indirect read operation is available in the TCAS Indirect Channel Data register
or to determine when a new indirect write operation may commence.
