1. INTRODUCTION
The GigMAC and GigPMC-switch family of network adapter cards and switches are a
high-performance, cost-effective solution for adding Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to any
embedded or real-time network appliance or network access device equipped with a
PCI slot or PMC mezzanine site and is ideal for embedded systems utilizing add-on
modules including PCI, Compact PCI and VME based systems.
The GigMac and GigPMC-switch family includes optimized, high-performance driver
support for VxWorks and Linux. Instructions for Linux driver installation are included in
this manual. In addition, a companion document titled “VxWorks Users Manual and
Integration Guide” is provided for technical assistance in integrating and testing the
driver in an embedded real-time VxWorks environment.
