Bits 5:0 – DFWP[5:0] Data FIFO Write Pointer Register

This register gives read and write access to the data FIFO write pointer (WrPtr). The manipulation of the WrPtr requires thorough knowledge of the internal functionality of the FIFO. To avoid unpredictable behavior, the WrPtr must only be changed in IDLEMode. The WrPtr can have values between 0 and 63. The pointer cycles through these values in a round robin manner. The difference between WrPtr and RdPtr (WrPtr – RdPtr) must never exceed the FIFO depth, because otherwise the FIFO will be in an undefined state. This can be checked by reading the fill level in the DFL.DFFLS register. If the value is larger than 32, the RdPtr or WrPtr value is invalid. Writing to this register overrides any other access.
