Table 2-B. Initialization Steps

INITIALIZATION STEP COMMENTS

1) Initialize the PCI configuration registers

Achieved by asserting the PIDSEL signal.

2) Initialize all indirect registers

It is recommended that all of the indirect registers be set to

0000h (Table 2-C

3) Configure the device for operation

Program all necessary registers, which include the Layer 1,

HDLC, FIFO, and DMA registers.

4) Enable the HDLC channels

Done through the RCHEN and TCHEN bits in the

R[n]CFG[j] and T[n]CFG[j] registers.

5) Load the DMA descriptors

Indicate to the DMA where packet data can be written and

where pending data (if any) resides.

6) Enable the DMAs

Done through the RDE and TDE control bits in the master

configuration (MC) register.

7) Enable DMA for each HDLC channel

Done through the channel enable bit in the receive and

transmit configuration RAM.
