-- VHDL Units :  o8_sdlc_if

-- Description:  Provides a full memory-mapped SDLC stack with automatic CRC16

--                Checksum insertion and integrity checking. Note that this

--                entity ONLY provides packet framing and checksum calculation.

-- Transmit Memory Map

-- "0_0000_0000" (0x000) TX Buffer START

-- "0_1111_1101" (0x0FD) TX Buffer END

-- "0_1111_1110" (0x0FE) Clock Status*

-- "0_1111_1111" (0x0FF) TX Length / Status**

--

-- Receive Memory Map

-- "1_0000_0000" (0x100) RX Buffer START

-- "1_1111_1101" (0x1FD) RX Buffer END

-- "1_1111_1110" (0x0FE) RX Checksum Status***

-- "1_1111_1111" (0x1FF) RX Length   Status****

--

-- *    Address 0xFE reports the SDLC bit clock status and updates on changes.

--      1) If BClk_Okay = '0' (Bitclock is NOT present), the field will report

--          0x00. Otherwise, it will report 0xFF if the bitclock is present.

--      2) Writing any value to the register will cause the controller to

--         silently reset the clock status without causing an interrupt.

--

-- **   This location serves as the control/status register for transmit

--      1) Writing a value between 1 and 253 will trigger the transmit engine,

--          using the write value as the packet length.

--      2) Values 0x00, 0xFE, or 0xFF are invalid, and will be ignored.

--      3) This value will change from the user written value to 0xFF once the

--          packet is transmitted to indicate the transmission is complete.

--

-- ***  This location serves as the status register for receive checksum test

--      1) A value of 0x00 indicates the CRC did NOT match, while a value

--         of 0xFF indicates that the recieved CRC matches the calculated CRC.

--

-- **** This location serves as the status register for the receive

--      1) This value is only updated on reception of a full frame, indicated

--          by a start followed by a stop flag. Incomplete frames are ignored.

--      2) If too many bytes are received (buffer overflow), a value of

--          ERR_LENGTH is written.
