The transmit DMA reads from the transmit pending-queue descriptor circular queue which data buffers

and their associated descriptors are ready for transmission. A set of internal addresses within the device

that are accessed by both the host and the DMA keep track of the circular queue addresses in the transmit

pending queue. On initialization, the host configures all of the registers shown in Table 9-J. After

initialization, the DMA only writes to (changes) the read pointers and the host only writes to the write

pointers.

Empty Case

The transmit pending queue is considered empty when the read and write pointers are identical.

Transmit Pending-Queue Empty State

empty descriptor

< write pointer

empty descriptor

Full Case

The transmit pending queue is considered full when the read pointer is ahead of the write pointer by one

descriptor. Therefore, one descriptor must always remain empty.

Transmit Pending-Queue Full State
