• RBASE and TBASE—These entries are used by the dual-port RAM starts the SMCx

receive and transmit buffer descriptors. They provide a great deal of flexibility for

partitioning the buffer descriptors for a serial management controller. By selecting

RBASE and TBASE entries for a serial management controller and by setting the W bit

in the last buffer descriptor in each buffer descriptor list, you can select the number of

buffer descriptors to allocate for the transmit and receive side of the serial management

controller. However, you must initialize these entries before enabling the corresponding

channel. Furthermore, you must not configure buffer descriptor tables of two enabled

serial management controllers to overlap or erratic operation will occur.

• RFCR and TFCR—There are separate function code registers for the two SMCx

channels. One for receive data buffers (RFCR) and one for transmit data buffers

(TFCR). The function code entry contains the value that you want to appear on the AT

pins when the associated SDMA channel accesses memory. It also controls the

byte-ordering convention that is used in the transfers.

Bits 0–2—Reserved

These bits are reserved and must be set to 0.

BO—Byte Ordering

Set these bits to select the required byte ordering of the data buffer. If this field is

modified on-the-fly, it takes effect at the beginning of the next frame or the next buffer

descriptor.

00 =

The DEC/Intel convention is used for byte ordering (swapped operation) and

is also called little-endian byte ordering. The transmission order of bytes within

a buffer word is reversed in comparison to the Motorola mode. This mode is

supported only for 32-bit port size memory.

Note: RBASE and TBASE must contain a value that is divisible by eight.
