The following is a brief description of the Ethernet controller:
The Tsi108/9 Ethernet Controller connects Switch Fabric to two independent
Gigabit Ethernet ports,E0 and E1. It uses a single Management interface
to manage the two physical connection devices (PHYs). Each Ethernet port
has its own statistics monitor that tracks and reports key interface
statistics. Each port supports a 256-entry hash table for address
filtering. In addition, each port is bridged to the Switch Fabric
through a 2-Kbyte transmit FIFO and a 4-Kbyte Receive FIFO.
Each Ethernet port also has a pair of internal Ethernet DMA channels to
support the transmit and receive data flows. The Ethernet DMA channels
use descriptors set up in memory, the memory map of the device, and
access via the Switch Fabric. The Ethernet Controller?s DMA arbiter
handles arbitration for the Switch Fabric. The Controller also
has a register businterface for register accesses and status monitor
control.
The PMD (Physical Media Device) interface operates in MII, GMII, or TBI
modes. The MII mode is used for connecting with 10 or 100 Mbit/s PMDs.
The GMII and TBI modes are used to connect with Gigabit PMDs. Internal
data flows to and from the Ethernet Controller through the Switch Fabric.
Each Ethernet port uses its transmit and receive DMA channels to manage
data flows through buffer descriptors that are predefined by the
system (the descriptors can exist anywhere in the system memory map).
These descriptors are data structures that point to buffers filled
with data ready to transmit over Ethernet, or they point to empty
buffers ready to receive data from Ethernet.

- Add IXP4xx NPE ethernet MAC support
- Add support for Intel IXDPG425 board
- Add support for Prodrive PDNB3 board
- Add IRQ support
Patch by Stefan Roese, 23 May 2006
[This patch does not include cpu/ixp/npe/IxNpeMicrocode.c which still
sufferes from licensing issues. Blame Intel.]
- Support for TQM8541/8555 boards added.
- Complete rework of TQM8540/8560 support.
- Common TQM85xx code now supports all current TQM85xx platforms
(TQM8540/8541/8555/8560).
- DDR SDRAM size detection added.
- CAS latency default values can be overwritten by setting "serial#"
to e.g. "ABC0001 casl=25" -> CAS latency 2.5 will be used.
If problems are detected with this non default CAS latency,
the defualt values will be used instead.
- FLASH size detection added.
- Moved FCC ethernet driver initialization behind TSEC driver init
-> TSEC is first device.
