TX Flow Control Enable

Enables the IP to generate XON and XOFF Pause/PFC flow control frames to the remote partner. The following encodings are defined:
  • 0: XON or XOFF Pause/PFC flow control is disabled.
  • 1: XON or XOFF Pause/PFC flow control is enabled.

You can change this field dynamically.

31:8 Reserved Reserved. 0 RO
0x606 7:0 TX Flow Control CSR XON/XOFF Request 0 XON/XOF flow control frame request bit 0. Interpretation depends on whether the IP is in 1-bit FC request mode or in 2-bit FC request mode. This register affects a flow control queue only if the corresponding bit of the TX Flow Control Enable register has the value of 1.

The following encodings are defined for 1-bit mode.

  • 0 = No request
  • 0 to 1 = Generate XOFF request
  • 1 = Continue to generate XOFF request
  • 1 to 0 = Generate XON request

The following encodings are defined for 2-bit mode.

  • 00 = No request
  • 01 = XON request
  • 10 = XOFF request
  • 11 = Invalid

You can modify the value of this field dynamically.
