RM0033
42-1500 bytes
Each byte of the MAC frame, except the FCS field, is transmitted low-order bit first.
An invalid MAC frame is defined by one of the following conditions:
•
The frame length is inconsistent with the expected value as specified by the length/type
field. If the length/type field contains a type value, then the frame length is assumed to
be consistent with this field (no invalid frame)
•
The frame length is not an integer number of bytes (extra bits)
•
The CRC value computed on the incoming frame does not match the included FCS
Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller
