If a collision occurs within 64 byte times, the retry process is initiated. The transmitter waits a random

number of slot times (512 bit times or 52 µs). If a collision occurs after 64 byte times, no retransmission

is performed and the buffer is closed with an LC error indication. If a collision occurs while a frame is

being received, reception stops. This error is reported only in the BD if the length of the frame exceeds

MINFLR or if PSMR[RSH] = 1.

25.14 Internal and External Loopback

Both internal and external loopback are supported by the Ethernet controller. In loopback mode, both of

the SCC FIFOs are used and the channel actually operates in a full-duplex fashion. Both internal and

external loopback are configured using combinations of PSMR[LPB] and GSMR[DIAG]. Because of the

full-duplex nature of the loopback operation, the performance of other SCCs is degraded.

Internal loopback disconnects the SCC from the serial interface. Receive data is connected to the transmit

data and the receive clock is connected to the transmit clock. Both FIFOs are used. Data from the transmit

FIFO is received immediately into the receive FIFO. There is no heartbeat check in this mode; configure

TENA as a general-purpose output.

In external loopback operation, the Ethernet controller listens for data being received from the EEST at the

same time that it is sending.

25.15 Full-Duplex Ethernet Support

To run full-duplex Ethernet, select loopback and full-duplex Ethernet modes in the SCC’s

protocol-specific mode register, (PSMR[LPB, FDE] = 1). The loopback mode tells the Ethernet controller

to accept received frames without signaling a collision. Setting PSMR[FDE] tells the controller that it can

send while receiving without waiting for a clear line (carrier sense).

25.16 Handling Errors in the Ethernet Controller

The Ethernet controller reports frame reception and transmission error conditions using channel BDs, error

counters, and SCCE. Table 25-4 describes transmission errors.

Table 25-4. Transmission Errors

Error

Description

Transmitter underrun

If this error occurs, the channel sends 32 bits that ensures a CRC error, stops sending the

buffer, closes it, sets the UN bit in the TxBD and SCCE[TXE]. The channel resumes

transmission after it receives a RESTART TRANSMIT command.

Carrier sense lost

during frame

transmission

When this error occurs and no collision is found in the frame, the channel sets the CSL bit in

the TxBD, sets SCCE[TXE], and continues sending the buffer normally. No retries are

performed after this error occurs. Carrier sense is the logical OR of RENA and CLSN.

Retransmission

attempts limit expired

The channel stops sending the buffer, closes it, sets the RL bit in the TxBD and SCCE[TXE].

The channel resumes transmission after it receives a RESTART TRANSMIT command.
