TXMA Transmit Memory Available
The amount of memory available is represented in units of byte. The TXQ memory is
used for both frame payload, control word.
Note: Software must be written to ensure that there is enough memory for the next
transmit frame including control information before transmit data is written to the TXQ.

Receive Frame Header Status Register (0x7C – 0x7D): RXFHSR
This register indicates the received frame header status information, the received frames are reported in RXFCTR
register. This register contains the status information for the frame received and the CPU can read so many times same
as the frame count value in the RXFCTR.

RXFV Receive Frame Valid
When this bit is set, it indicates that the present frame in the receive packet memory is
valid. The status information currently in this location is also valid.
When clear, it indicates that there is either no pending receive frame or that the current
frame is still in the process of receiving.
