NetCOPE - SFPRO
InfoHW sectionSW sectionAddr space

Platform overview

The key components of NetCOPE platform on SFPRO card are IEEE 802.3 compliant Network interface blocks, which are connected to user acceleration core via FrameLink interface:

  • Input GMII Buffer
  • Output GMII Buffer
User can also utilize Crossbar component to redirect incoming network traffic to chosen Inbut Buffers or even back to output network interface (thus simple Repeater could be created).

Phytters controlling the network interfaces could be accesed by I2C controller and thus for instance network speed could be set (10M/100M/1000M Ethernet).

Architecture

The overview of the architecture is on the following figure.
