Tx Event FIFOs are defined structures which are stored within the Message RAM. The module can be configured to have up to 32 elements.
While the Tx Buffer holds only the message to be transmitted, the transmit status (including the message ID and timestamp) can be stored separately using the Tx Event FIFO. The Message Marker is copied from the Tx Buffer to the Tx Event FIFO element to link the Tx Event to the Tx Event FIFO Element.
This is useful in applications with a dynamically managed transmit queue, where a Tx Buffer can be overwritten with the new message immediately after a successful transmission without needing to save the transmit status from the Tx Buffer itself. For more information on how to store Tx Event FIFO elements, see the example available in C2000ware.
