OFFSET
2 PACKET NUMBER REGISTER
0 0
PACKET NUMBER AT TX AREA - The value
written into this register determines which packet
number is accessible through the TX area. Some
MMU commands use the number stored in this
OFFSET
3 ALLOCATION RESULT REGISTER
This register is updated upon an ALLOCATE MEMORY MMU command.
FAILED
1 0
FAILED - A zero indicates a successful allocation
completion. If the allocation fails the bit is set and
only cleared when the pending allocation is
satisfied. Defaults high upon reset and reset MMU
command. For polling purposes, the ALLOC_INT
in the Interrupt Status Register should be used
because it is synchronized to the read operation.
Sequence:
1) Allocate Command
2) Poll ALLOC_INT bit until set
3) Read Allocation Result Register

register as the packet number parameter. This

Command.
NAME
ALLOCATED PACKET NUMBER
0 0
ALLOCATED PACKET NUMBER - Packet
number associated with the last memory allocation
request. The value is only valid if the FAILED bit is
clear.
NOTE: For software compatibility with future
versions, the value read from the ARR after an
allocation request is intended to be written into the
PNR as is, without masking higher bits (provided
FAILED = 0).
