|
||||
|
||||

#### Initiate read to RX FIFO (**0x30**)
|
||||
|
||||
Initiates read of X 4 byte (32 bit) words to RX FIFO. Maximum possible read length is 64 MB. However, it's possible to send multiple commands in series to achieve longer read lengths. After issuing this command it's necesarry to read data with "Read from RX FIFO (0x50)" command. Command will read dummy data when **N64_DISABLE** bit is cleared in communication module configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
This command consumes space in TX FIFO. Check TX FIFO availability before issuing this command.
|
||||
|
||||
Command bytes:
|

*x = don't care*
|
||||
|
||||
#### Write to TX FIFO (**0x40**)

|
||||
Writes data to TX FIFO. Sent words then are processed immediately as bus writes at current internal bus address. Data can be written only as 4 byte (32 bit) words. When **N64_DISABLE** bit in communication module configuration is cleared then command will process data in TX FIFO but it won't write anything to bus.
|
||||
|
||||
This command consumes space in TX FIFO. Check TX FIFO availability before issuing this command.

#### Read from RX FIFO (**0x50**)
|
||||
|
||||
