2.7.4 Transitions to TXMode

The ATA8510/15 firmware supports switching to TXMode from:

  • IDLEMode(RC) and IDLEMode(XTO)
  • RXMode (direct switch, not via IDLEMode)
  • TXMode (direct switch, not via IDLEMode)

Switching modes is completely controlled by the firmware. The SFIF0 and DFIF0 are cleared during all direct-switch operations.
