If a receive buffer does not end on a DWord boundary,

the PCnet-PCI II controller will perform a non-DWord

write on the last transfer to the buffer. The following fig-

ure shows the final three FIFO DMA transfers to a re-

ceive buffer. Since there were only nine bytes of space

left in the receive buffer, the PCnet-PCI II controller

burst three data phases. The first two data phases write

a full DWord, the last one only writes a single byte.

Note that the PCnet-PCI II controller will always perform

a DWord transfer as long as it owns the buffer space,

even when there are less then four bytes to write. For ex-

ample, if there is only one byte left for the current receive

frame, the PCnet-PCI II controller will write a full DWord,

containing the last byte of the receive frame in the least

significant byte position (BSWP is cleared to ZERO,

CSR3, bit 2). The content of the other three bytes is

undefined. The message byte count in the receive

descriptor always reflects the exact length of the

received frame.

Figure 31. FIFO Burst Write At End Of Unaligned Buffer

In a PCI bus application the PCnet-PCI II controller

should be set up to have the length of a bus mastership

period be controlled only by the PCI Latency Timer. The

Timer bit (CSR4, bit 13) should remain at its default

value of ZERO so that the DMA Bus Activity Timer

(CSR82) is not enabled. The DMA Transfer Counter

(CSR80) should be disabled by setting DMAPLUS

(CSR4, bit 14) to ONE. In this mode, the PCnet-PCI II

controller will continue transferring FIFO data until the

transmit FIFO is filled to its high threshold (read trans-

fers) or the receive FIFO is emptied to its low threshold

(write transfers), or the PCnet-PCI II controller is

preempted, and the PCI Latency Timer is expired. The

host should use the values in the PCI MIN_GNT and

MAX_LAT registers to determine the value for the PCI

Latency Timer.
