DESCRIPTION

       The atse device driver provides support for the Altera Triple-Speed Ethernet MegaCore.

HARDWARE

       The  current  version  of  the atse driver supports the Ethernet MegaCore as described in version 11.1 of
       Altera's documentation when the device is configured with internal FIFOs.

MAC SELECTION

       The default MAC address for each atse interface is derived from a value  stored  in  cfi(4)  flash.   The
       value is managed by the atsectl(8) utility.

       Only  a single MAC address may be stored in flash.  If the address begins with the Altera prefix 00:07:ed
       and ends in 00 then up to 16 addresses will be derived from it by adding the unit number of the interface
       to the stored address.  For other prefixes, the address will be assigned to atse0  and  random  addresses
       will  be used for other interfaces.  If the stored address is invalid, for example all zero's, multicast,
       or the default address shipped on all DE4 boards (00:07:ed:ff:ed:15) then a random address  is  generated
       when the device is attached.

HISTORY

       The atse device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 10.0.

AUTHORS

       The  atse  device  driver  and this manual page were developed by SRI International and the University of
       Cambridge Computer Laboratory under DARPA/AFRL contract (FA8750-10-C-0237)  (“CTSRD”),  as  part  of  the
       DARPA CRASH research programme.  This device driver was written by Bjoern A. Zeeb.

BUGS

       The  atse  driver  only  supports  a  single  configuration  of  the MegaCore as installed on the Terasic
       Technologies Altera DE4 Development and Education Board.

       Only gigabit Ethernet speeds are currently supported.
