flag byte

Flag attributes are assigned to the deserialized data word, identifying key attributes. The flags are used in later

data handling. The flag field is assigned to every eight data bytes. The format of the subfields within the flag byte

change, depending on the flag information. Previously, the start-of-frame format was described in the address

compare text (see Figure 7). The formats shown in Figure 7 are the end-of-buffer and the end-of-frame flag for-

mats. When the most-significant bit (end-of-buffer bit) is set, the remaining bits of the most-significant nibble

contain the number of bytes in the data word, while the least-significant nibble contains error/status information.

NOTE A: The EOB bit is asserted after each 64-byte data transfer. Bit 3 of the flag byte is set only at the EOF.

a) START-OF-FRAME (SOF) FORMAT

— No errors

— Bad CRC

— Code violation = alignment + bad CRC

— Overflow error = no buffers available

— Frame exceeds 1531 bytes
