40.6.25 Carrier Sense Errors Register

EMAC_CSE is an EMAC statistics register. It resets to zero on a read and sticks at all ones when it counts to its maximum value. It should be read frequently enough to prevent loss of data.

Bits 7:0 – CSE[7:0] Carrier Sense Errors

An 8-bit register counting the number of frames transmitted where carrier sense was not seen during transmission or where carrier sense was deasserted after being asserted in a transmit frame without collision (no underrun). Only incremented in half-duplex mode. The only effect of a carrier sense error is to increment this register. The behavior of the other statistics registers is unaffected by the detection of a carrier sense error.
