The NIC design is divided into the two parts: interface card part and mother card part. Both parts are based on the NetCOPE platform. The interface card part consists of the following components:

  • Input GMII Buffer
  • Output GMII Buffer
  • Phyter I2C control
  • GMII crossbar
  • Aurora with flow control
  • FL_WATCH component
  • FrameLink Binder

The mother card part is based on the NetCOPE-Combo6x project. Currently there is available only SFPRO interface card design based on the NetCOPE-SFPRO project.

Only three additional components are used in the NetCOPE-Combo6x user accelerated core:

  • FL_WATCH component
  • FrameLink Transformer
  • FrameLink Relay

See the detailed NIC architecture on the following figure.
