wakeup frame is more than 512 bytes long, if the frame has a valid CRC value, it is
considered valid. Wakeup frame detection is updated in the ETH_MACPMTCSR register for
every remote wakeup frame received. If enabled, a PMT interrupt is generated to indicate
the reception of a remote wakeup frame.
Magic packet detection
The Magic Packet frame is based on a method that uses Advanced Micro Device’s Magic
Packet technology to power up the sleeping device on the network. The MAC receives a
specific packet of information, called a Magic Packet, addressed to the node on the network.
Only Magic Packets that are addressed to the device or a broadcast address are checked to
determine whether they meet the wakeup requirements. Magic Packets that pass address
filtering (unicast or broadcast) are checked to determine whether they meet the remote
Wake-on-LAN data format of 6 bytes of all ones followed by a MAC address appearing 16
times. The application enables Magic Packet wakeup by writing a 1 to bit 1 in the
ETH_MACPMTCSR register. The PMT block constantly monitors each frame addressed to
the node for a specific Magic Packet pattern. Each received frame is checked for a
0xFFFF FFFF FFFF pattern following the destination and source address field. The PMT
block then checks the frame for 16 repetitions of the MAC address without any breaks or
interruptions. In case of a break in the 16 repetitions of the address, the 0xFFFF FFFF FFFF
pattern is scanned for again in the incoming frame. The 16 repetitions can be anywhere in
the frame, but must be preceded by the synchronization stream (0xFFFF FFFF FFFF). The
device also accepts a multicast frame, as long as the 16 duplications of the MAC address
are detected. If the MAC address of a node is 0x0011 2233 4455, then the MAC scans for
the data sequence:
Destination address source address ……………….. FFFF FFFF FFFF
0011 2233 4455 0011 2233 4455 0011 2233 4455 0011 2233 4455
0011 2233 4455 0011 2233 4455 0011 2233 4455 0011 2233 4455
0011 2233 4455 0011 2233 4455 0011 2233 4455 0011 2233 4455
0011 2233 4455 0011 2233 4455 0011 2233 4455 0011 2233 4455
…CRC
Magic Packet detection is updated in the ETH_MACPMTCSR register for received Magic
Packet. If enabled, a PMT interrupt is generated to indicate the reception of a Magic Packet.
System consideration during power-down
The Ethernet PMT block is able to detect frames while the system is in the Stop mode,
provided that the EXTI line 19 is enabled.
The MAC receiver state machine should remain enabled during the power-down mode. This
means that the RE bit has to remain set in the ETH_MACCR register because it is involved
in magic packet/ wake-on-LAN frame detection. The transmit state machine should however
be turned off during the power-down mode by clearing the TE bit in the ETH_MACCR
register. Moreover, the Ethernet DMA should be disabled during the power-down mode,
because it is not necessary to copy the magic packet/wake-on-LAN frame into the SRAM.
To disable the Ethernet DMA, clear the ST bit and the SR bit (for the transmit DMA and the
receive DMA, respectively) in the ETH_DMAOMR register.
The recommended power-down and wakeup sequences are as follows:
