Intel® FM2112 24-Port 10G/1G Ethernet Switch Chip Data Sheet
3.5.1
BOOT FSM:
SWITCH MGMT:
PORT MGMT:
LED CTRL:
The bootstrap finite state machine. This is activated once at
startup to setup internal registers, repair internal RAM and
initialize memory.
Interface to manage the switch, this include setting up any
frame control registers, access to global statistics and accessing
the lookup table.
Interface to manage the port.
A block that retrieves the status of the port and present it to a
serial LED interface.
Logical CPU Interface
{Described in Table 73 through Table 76}
The FM2112 supports packet transmission to any port of the switch and
reception from any port of the switch to the local CPU controller
through the CPU Interface. However, this interface is a slave only bus
interface. There is no built in DMA controller to retrieve packets from
memory for transmission or forward packets received to internal
memory. Packet transmission and reception requires the CPU Interface
master to write or read each word of a packet transmitted or received.
The FM2112 provides DMA signals allowing the usage of an external
dual-channel DMA controller to do the data transfer for the CPU. This is
shown in Figure 13.
