Client-Supplied FCS Passing
The transmission timing depicted in
the FCS field passed in by the client. In this case, it is the responsibility of the client to
ensure that the frame meets the Ethernet minimum frame length requirements as the
GEMAC core will not perform any padding of the payload. See

Client Underrun
Figure 5-8
FIFO connected to the client interface that empties before a frame transfer is complete.
When the client asserts tx_underrun during a frame transmission, the GEMAC core
inserts an error code to corrupt the current frame, and then falls back to idle transmission.
It is the responsibility of the client to re-queue the aborted frame for transmission.
When an underrun occurs, tx_data_valid may be asserted on the clock cycle after the
tx_underrun assertion to request a new transmission.
