The oltr driver uses objects and microcode from Olicom's
|
||
|
|
OC-3300 PowerMACH Works Kit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As the Linux driver says..
|
||
|
|
==================================================================
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
* This driver uses the Token Ring Low Level Driver (TRlld,
|
||
|
|
* PowerMach Works) as the lower level driver. The PMW kit is
|
||
|
|
* (C) Olicom. The executable object may be distributed along
|
||
|
|
* with this driver for the purpose of linking this driver.
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
=================================================================
|
||
|
|
The low level driver is combined with a FreeBSD specific driver
|
||
|
|
supplied in source, which provides all OS dependent functions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
files from olicom are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
trlld.o - Olicom low-level driver interface
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
trlldmac.o - TMS 380 Microcode for Olicom TMS380 based cards
|
||
|
|
trlldbm.o - "bullseye" Microcode for Olicom "bullseye" based cards
|
||
|
|
trlldhm.o - "hawkeye" Microcode for Olicom "hawkeye" based cards
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The file trlld.o is stored in uuencode format as trlld.o.uu
|
||
|
|
It represents a state machine of some kind that has no OS dependencies
|
||
|
|
and communicates with the firmware on the cards via a proprietary interface.
|
||
|
|
All communication with this module is achieved via functions supplied in
|
||
|
|
the FreeBSD specific driver.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The other 3 files have been encoded using file2c(1)
|
||
|
|
and represent only microcode to be loaded into the appropriate board
|
||
|
|
when found.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here is the release notice from Olicom regarding these files:
