Why SGDMA cannot not complete ?

Hello,

We are using interniche, and on trying to send an ethernet packet (udp), it fails in

alt_avalon_sgdma_do_sync_transfer

with status 0xC.

I don't understand why SGDMA should fail. The code of the above function is a low level code which does a simple SGDMA transfer through registers.

I see that return status is 0xC , which means - according to table 336 -

2 DESCRIPTOR_COMPLETED R/C (1) (2) A value of 1 indicates that a descriptor was processed to completion.

3 CHAIN_COMPLETED R/C (1) (2) A value of 1 indicates that the core has completed processing the descriptor chain.

What does it mean ? Why SGDMA transfer fails ?

We are using FPGA with a network switch (mac-to-mac), that's why phy detection fails, but still it does not explain why SGDMA transfer fails.
