121
BSWP bit. Descriptor transfers
are not affected by the setting of
the BSWP bit. RDP, RAP, BDP
and PCI configuration space ac-
cesses are not affected by the
setting of the BSWP bit. Address
PROM transfers are not affected
by the setting of the BSWP bit.
Expansion ROM accesses are
not affected by the setting of the
BSWP bit.
Note that the byte ordering of the
PCI bus is defined to be little En-
dian. BSWP should not be set to
1 when the Am79C971 controller
is used in a PCI bus application.
Read/Write accessible always.
BSWP is cleared by H_RESET or
S_RESET and is not affected by
STOP.
1
RES
Reserved location. The default
value of this bit is a 0. Writing a 1
to this bit has no effect on device
function. If a 1 is written to this bit,
then a 1 will be read back. Exist-
ing drivers may write a 1 to this bit
for compatibility, but new drivers
should write a 0 to this bit and
should treat the read value as un-
defined.

CSR4: Test and Features Control
Certain bits in CSR4 indicate the cause of an interrupt.
The register is designed so that these indicator bits are
cleared by writing ones to those bit locations. This
means that the software can read CSR4 and write back
the value just read to clear the interrupt condition.

EN124
Enable CSR124 access. Setting
EN124 to 1 allows the user to
write to bits in CSR124, which en-

the
GPSI
(GPSIEN, bit 4) and Runt Packet
Accept mode (RPA, bit 3). Once
these bits are accessed, EN124
must be cleared back to 0.

ENTST is cleared by H_RESET

the STOP bit.

DMAPLUS
Writing and reading from this bit
has no effect. DMAPLUS is al-
ways set to 1.

APAD_XMT
Auto Pad Transmit. When set,
APAD_XMT enables the auto-
matic padding feature. Transmit
frames will be padded to extend
them to 64 bytes including FCS.
The FCS is calculated for the en-
tire frame, including pad, and ap-
pended after the pad field.
APAD_XMT will override the pro-
gramming of the DXMTFCS bit
(CSR15, bit 3) and of the
ADD_FCS/NO_FCS bit (TMD1,
bit 29) for frames shorter than 64
bytes.
Read/Write accessible always.
