Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller
Bits 31:0 SRL: Start of receive list
Ethernet DMA transmit descriptor list address register (ETH_DMATDLAR)
Address offset: 0x1010
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
The Transmit descriptor list address register points to the start of the transmit descriptor list.
The descriptor lists reside in the STM32F4xx's physical memory space and must be word-
aligned. The DMA internally converts it to bus-width-aligned address by taking the
corresponding LSB to low. Writing to the ETH_DMATDLAR register is permitted only when
transmission has stopped. Once transmission has stopped, the ETH_DMATDLAR register
can be written before the transmission Start command is given.

Bits 31:0 STL: Start of transmit list
Ethernet DMA status register (ETH_DMASR)
Address offset: 0x1014
Reset value: 0x0000 0000
The Status register contains all the status bits that the DMA reports to the application. The
ETH_DMASR register is usually read by the software driver during an interrupt service
routine or polling. Most of the fields in this register cause the host to be interrupted. The
ETH_DMASR register bits are not cleared when read. Writing 1 to (unreserved) bits in
ETH_DMASR register[16:0] clears them and writing 0 has no effect. Each field (bits [16:0])
can be masked by masking the appropriate bit in the ETH_DMAIER register.

1226/1749
This field contains the base address of the first descriptor in the receive descriptor list. The
LSB bits [1/2/3:0] for 32/64/128-bit bus width) are internally ignored and taken as all-zero by
the DMA. Hence these LSB bits are read only.

Do you have a question about the STM32F405 and is the answer not in the manual?
