Initialization Procedure
1. Program FCC registers/parameters for ATM operation with UTOPIA multi-PHY (excluding APC
parameters for IMA PHYs).
2. Program IMA FCC and root parameters.
3. Enable FCC via GFMRx[ENR,ENT].
Aside from IMA state machine control and IMA-specific error events, subsequent interaction with the
ATM channels is the same as for non-IMA operation (e.g. host commands, RCT/TCT parameters, buffer
descriptors, interrupts).

Software Responsibilities
The following functions are the responsibility of the host software which must complement the IMA
microcode in order to provide a complete IMA solution.
