  1. Network Adapter Driver NCTU High Speed Network Lab.

  2. System Architecture NCTU High Speed Network Lab

  3. BUS Rx Buffer Ring 16 byte FIFO CRC Addr. Filter If my addr DMA Adapter Rx Process Coax cable NCTU High Speed Network Lab

  4. HOST CPU NIC Rx Procedure Media (3) Interrupt cup (307) Current page register(page1:307) NIC (1) FIFO Romote start address(308,309) Romote byte count (30a,30b) Romote DMA write (300) Data port Data port (310) (2) (5) Local DMA (4) NIC memory Host Memory NCTU High Speed Network Lab

  5. HOST CPU NIC Tx Procedure Media (1) Romote start address(308,309) Romote byte count (30a,30b) NIC (6) Romote DMA write (300) FIFO Data port (310) (4) Remote DMA complete(307) Data port Romote start address(308,309) (5) (2) Local DMA (3) NIC memory Host Memory NCTU High Speed Network Lab

  6. Buffer Ring Control Points Set one times when initial: • Page Start Point (PSTART) : Set when Initial • Page Stop Point (PSTOP) : Set when Initial Update when received packet: • Current Page Point (CURR) : NIC auto update • Boundary Page Point (BNDRY) : manual update • Next Packet Page (next_pkt) : memory variable NCTU High Speed Network Lab

  7. 4 3 2 n 1 ReceiveBufferRing Page start address Buffer #1 Buffer #2 Buffer #n Page start address 256 bytes NCTU High Speed Network Lab

  8. Rx Buffer Ring Maintain • When initializing the NIC set : BNDRY = PSTART CURR = PSTART + 1 next_pkt = PSTART + 1 • After a packet is DMAed from Rx Buffer Ring next_pkt = Next Page Pointer BNDRY = Next Page Pointer if BNDRY < PSTART then BNDRY = PSTOP - 1 NCTU High Speed Network Lab

Read Transmit Status Register Transmit Next Packet in Queue Update Queue Pointers DMA Packet from Local memory to PC Inform High Level Software Inform High Level Software Enable Interrupt Restore PC Registers Receive Buffer Ring Empty? IRET Send “EOI” to 8259 Empty Transmission Queue? NO YES NCTU High Speed Network Lab

  12. Driver Send NIC Ready to Transmit? DMA Packet from PC to Local Memory Queue Packet in PC Memory Program NIC to Transmit Packet (Command Reg = 26h) RETURN Driver Send NO YES NCTU High Speed Network Lab
