Network I/O Support
The Network Boot Firmware provides the capability to boot the CPU
through the Flash/PROM debugger using a network (local Ethernet
interface) as the boot device.
The booting process is executed in two distinct phases.
1. The first phase allows the diskless remote node to discover its
network identify and the name of the file to be booted.
2. The second phase has the diskless remote node reading the boot file
across the network into its memory.
The various modules (capabilities) and the dependencies of these modules
that support the overall network boot function are described in the
following paragraphs.
Intel 82596 LAN Coprocessor Ethernet Driver
This driver manages/surrounds the Intel 82596 LAN Coprocessor.
Management is in the scope of the reception of packets, the transmission
of packets, receive buffer flushing, and interface initialization.
This module ensures that the packaging and unpackaging of Ethernet
packets is done correctly in the Boot PROM.
UDP/IP Protocol Modules
The Internet Protocol (IP) is designed for use in interconnected systems of
packet-switched computer communication networks. The Internet
protocol provides for transmitting of blocks of data called datagrams
(hence User Datagram Protocol, or UDP) from sources to destinations,
where sources and destinations are hosts identified by fixed length
addresses.
The UDP/IP protocols are necessary for the TFTP and BOOTP protocols;
TFTP and BOOTP require a UDP/IP connection.
