Figure 20-17. RX End of Buffer Interrupt Status Register (MALO_RXEOBISR)
0
Receive Channel End-ot-Bufter Interrupt
Each bit represents its related
channel (bit 0 for channel 0, etc.).
Writing 1 to a bit resets it.
There is only one RX channel in the
PPC40SGP.

20.9 Error Registers
The following paragraphs describe MAL error registers. For more information about MAL errors see
"Error Handling" on page 20-19.
20.9.1 MAL Error Status Register (MALO_ESR)
This register holds the information about the error that occurred and the interrupts status. The register
includes the following fields:
• Error status bits - This field holds the error information. The information includes the number of
the channel on which the error occurred (if known) and the type of the error. The error can be either
the last detected error or a locked error if "Locked error mode" is active. (See "Operational Error
Modes" on page 20-21 for description of the Locked error mode.)
The error status field includes an "Error Valid" bit which indicates whether there is an error information
in the error status field or not. The error status bits are not valid when the "Error Valid" bit is cleared
(by writing 1 to this bit).
• Interrupt status bits - Every error detected by MAL sets a related bit in the interrupt status field.
The interrupt status bits may be cleared by software by writing 1 to the bit to be cleared. The bits in
this field are accumulative (more than one interrupt may be indicated here). These bits are masked
by the IER (Interrupt Enable Register) to create a maskable interrupt, which is implemented by the
MAL_SERR_INT signal (connected to the UIC on the PPC405GP).
Note: In order to reset the interrupt bits and the Error valid bit in the Error Status register, 1 must be
written to the related bit. Writing 0 has no effect.
More than one bit can be cleared at a time and only RIW bits can be reset.
