bridgeTxPkt

Description

Variable is used in conjunction with

bridgeTxDone. If bridgeTxPkt and bridgeTxDone are equal,

then it is permitted to write new packet data to

bridgeTxPktBuffer. Setting bridgeTxPkt different than

bridgeTxDone will cause the contents of the packet buffer to be transmitted. Upon transmit
completion,

bridgeTxDone will be updated to match bridgeTxPkt.

Packet transmission can also be initiated by issuing a Packet Transmit command via HMI.
