3.6.2.2.6 SFL – Support FIFO Fill Level Register

Name: SFL
Offset: 0x0DC
Reset: 0x00

Bit 76543210 
 SFCLRSFFLS[4:0] 
Access WRRRRRRR 
Reset 00000000 

Bit 7 – SFCLR Support FIFO Clear

Writing a ‘1’ to this bit location clears the support FIFO. RdPtr, WrPtr and fill level are reset to ‘0’. The support FIFO status register is cleared. The support FIFO configuration registers (SFC and SFI) keep their settings. The data content of the FIFO is also retained. It can be recovered by RdPtr and WrPtr manipulations. Reading this bit always returns ‘0’.

Bit 6 –  Reserved Bit

This bit is reserved and always returns ‘0’ when read.

Bit 5 –  Reserved Bit

This bit is reserved and always returns ‘0’ when read.

Bits 4:0 – SFFLS[4:0] Support FIFO Fill Level Status

The current fill level of the support FIFO is stored in SFFLS. These bits are read-only. An SFFLS value that is larger than 16 indicates incorrect programming of the read (SFRP) or write (SFWP) pointer. The fill level is updated one system clock cycle after a read/write access or pointer manipulation.
