EtherC Status Register (ECSR)
ECSR is a 32-bit readable/writable register and indicates the status in the EtherC. This status can
be notified to the CPU by interrupts. When 1 is written to the PSRTO, LCHNG, MPD, and ICD,
the corresponding flags can be cleared. Writing 0 does not affect the flag. For bits that generate
interrupt, the interrupt can be enabled or disabled according to the corresponding bit in ECSIPR.
The interrupts generated due to this status register are indicated in the ECI bit in EESR.

PAUSE Frame Retransmission Retry Over
Indicates that during the retransmission of PAUSE
frames when the flow control is enabled, the number
of retries has exceeded the upper limit set in the
automatic PAUSE frame retransmission count set
register (TPAUSER).

Link Signal Change
Indicates that the LNKSTA signal input from the PHY
has changed from high to low or low to high.
To check the current Link state, refer to the LMON bit
in the PHY status register (PSR).
0: Changes in the LNKSTA signal are not detected
1: Changes in the LNKSTA signal are detected (high
