Hello,
What do we do when mac_async_write() faills ?? Do we just call it again or do I have to clear some register bits? Is there an easy way to know if the write buffer is full and wait until it is no longer full? I ma doing this because I am having transmit errors with LWIP-1.4.0 because mac_async_write() returns fails frequently in mac_low_level_output from lwip\port\ethif_mac.c. I am jumping between investigating how LWIP works and making my own Ethernet driver.
I am looking at hpl_gmac_config.h. Is it correct to say that the transmit buffer maximum size is 4K and that the number of packets times the packet size of each has to make a total less than 4k bytes?
CONF_GMAC_TXDESCR_NUM * CONF_GMAC_TXBUF_SIZE < (CONF_GMAC_DCFGR_TXPBMS +1) *2K
