Configuration

Build Time Configurations for r_rmac

The following build time configurations are defined in fsp_cfg/r_rmac_cfg.h:

Configuration	Options	Default	Description
Parameter Checking	Default (BSP) Enabled Disabled	Default (BSP)	If selected code for parameter checking is included in the build.

Configurations for Networking > Ethernet MAC (r_rmac)

This module can be added to the Stacks tab via New Stack > Networking > Ethernet MAC (r_rmac). Non-secure callable guard functions can be generated for this module by right clicking the module in the RA Configuration tool and checking the "Non-secure Callable" box.

Configuration	Options	Default	Description

Channel	Must be an integer greater than or equal to 0.	0	Write the ether channel number.
Zero-copy Mode	Disable Enable	Disable	Enable or disable zero-copy mode.
Flow control functionality	Disable Enable	Disable	Enable or disable flow control.
MAC address	Must be a valid MAC address	00:11:22:33:44:55	MAC address of this channel.
Filters
Multicast Mode	Disable Enable	Enable	Enable or disable multicast frame reception.
Promiscuous Mode	Disable Enable	Disable	Enable this option to receive packets addressed to other NICs.
Broadcast filter	Must be a valid non-negative integer with maximum configurable value of 65535.	0	Limit of the number of broadcast frames received continuously

Interrupts

Callback	Name must be a valid C symbol	NULL	Callback provided when an ISR occurs

Interrupt Configuration

The first R_RMAC_Open function call sets GWDI interrupts. The user could provide callback function which would be invoked when GWDI interrupt handler has been completed. The callback arguments will contain information about a channel number, the event code and a pointer to the user defined context.

Callback Configuration

The user could provide callback function which would be invoked when either a magic packet or a link signal change is detected. When the callback function is called, a variable in which the channel number for which the detection occurred and a constant shown in Table 2.4 are stored is passed as an argument. If the value of this argument is to be used outside the callback function, its value should be copied into, for example, a global variable.

Clock Configuration

The ESWM peripheral uses ICLK, PCLKA, ESWCLK and ESWPHYCLK as clocks. These clocks must be set to frequencies within the ranges shown in the following table.

PHY speed [Mbps]	ICLK [MHz]	PCLKA [MHz]	ESWCLK [MHz]	ESWPHYCLK [MHz]
10/100	50 to 250	up to 125	50 to 250	Not required
1000	150 to 250	up to 125	150 to 250	500

Note: 1. Clock restrictions are as follow: ICLK × 1.5 => ESWCLK, ESWCLK > PCLKA and ICLK > PCLKA.; 2. When using a products in the HLQFP176 package, set ESWCLK to 125 MHz or less.

Pin Configuration

To use the RMAC module, input/output signals of the peripheral function have to be allocated to pins with the multi-function pin controller (MPC). Please perform the pin setting before calling the R_RMAC_Open function.

Usage Notes

Ethernet Frame Format

The RMAC module supports the Ethernet II/IEEE 802.3 frame format.

Frame Format for Data Transmission and Reception

Frame Format Image

The preamble and SFD signal the start of an Ethernet frame. The FCS contains the CRC of the Ethernet frame and is calculated on the transmitting side. When data is received the CRC value of the frame is calculated in hardware, and the Ethernet frame is discarded if the values do not match. When the hardware determines that the data is normal, the valid range of receive data is: (transmission destination address) + (transmission source address) + (length/type) + (data).

PAUSE Frame Format

Pause Frame Format Image

The transmission destination address is specified as 01:80:C2:00:00:01 (a multicast address reserved for PAUSE frames). At the start of the payload the length/type is specified as 0x8808 and the operation code as 0x0001. The pause duration in the payload is specified by the value of the automatic PAUSE (AP) bits in the automatic PAUSE frame setting register (APR), or the manual PAUSE time setting (MP) bits in the manual PAUSE frame setting register (MPR).

Magic Packet Frame Format

Magic Packet Frame Format Image

In a Magic Packet, the value FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF followed by the transmission destination address repeated 16 times is inserted somewhere in the Ethernet frame data.

Examples

ETHER Basic Example

This is a basic example of minimal use of the ETHER in an application.
