Yes, all memory is accessible via DMA. IIRC datasheet says that flash
can not be used with EMAC.
        To my knowledge, the LPC EMAC can not be operated without DMA. One has
to provide buffer descriptors which contain pointer to buffers and
sizes. The EMAC searches this descriptors for a free buffer to store
incoming packets.
