13.8.7 Transmit Data FIFO Tail Register
TDFT (03418h; R/W)
This register stores the head of the Ethernet controller’s on–chip transmit data FIFO. Since the
internal FIFO is organized in units of 64-bit words, this field contains the 64-bit offset of the
current Transmit FIFO Tail. So a value of “8h” in this register corresponds to an offset of 8
quadwords into the Transmit FIFO space. This register is available for diagnostic purposes only,
and should not be written during normal operation.

13.8.8 Transmit Data FIFO Head Saved Register
TDFHS (03420h; R/W)
This register stores a copy of the Transmit Data FIFO Head register in case the internal register
needs to be restored. This register is available for diagnostic purposes only, and should not be
written during normal operation.
