FAILED - A zero indicates a successful allocation completion. If the allocation fails the bit is set and
only cleared when the pending allocation is satisfied. Defaults high upon reset and reset MMU
command. For polling purposes, the ALLOC_INT in the Interrupt Status Register should be used
because it is synchronized to the read operation. Sequence:
1. Allocate Command
2. Poll ALLOC_INT bit until set
3. Read Allocation Result Register
ALLOCATED PACKET NUMBER - Packet number associated with the last memory allocation request.
The value is only valid if the FAILED bit is clear.
Note: For software compatibility with future versions, the value read from the ARR after an allocation
request is intended to be written into the PNR as is, without masking higher bits (provided
FAILED = 0).

FIFO PORTS REGISTER
READ ONLY
This register provides access to the read ports of the Receive FIFO and the Transmit completion FIFO.
The packet numbers to be processed by the interrupt service routines are read from this register.

REMPTY - No receive packets queued in the RX FIFO. For polling purposes, uses the RCV_INT bit
in the Interrupt Status Register.
TOP OF RX FIFO PACKET NUMBER - Packet number presently at the output of the RX FIFO. Only
valid if REMPTY is clear. The packet is removed from the RX FIFO using MMU Commands 3) or 4).
TEMPTY - No transmit packets in completion queue. For polling purposes, uses the TX_INT bit in the
Interrupt Status Register.
TX FIFO PACKET NUMBER - Packet number presently at the output of the TX FIFO. Only valid if
TEMPTY is clear. The packet is removed when a TX INT acknowledge is issued.
Note: For software compatibility with future versions, the value read from each FIFO register is
intended to be written into the PNR as is, without masking higher bits (provided TEMPTY and
REMPTY = 0 respectively).
