Ethernet frames can be extracted or injected to or from the device's
DDR memory. There is one channel for injection and one channel for
extraction. Each of these channels contain a linked list of DCBs which
contains DB. The DCB contains only 1 DB for both the injection and
extraction. Each DB contains a frame. Every time when a frame is received
or transmitted an interrupt is generated.
It is not possible to use both the FDMA and the manual
injection/extraction of the frames. Therefore the FDMA has priority over
the manual because of better performance values.
