EZdriver Control API

Control Processor API Layer

EZdriver is a toolset that facilitates the development of the control path software for EZchip network processor based systems. It enables applications that run on the control CPU to communicate with the EZchip network processor. EZdriver consists of routines that execute on the control CPU and provide an API for interfacing the network processor. It includes the chip configuration, microcode loading, creation and maintenance of lookup structures, sending and receiving frames to and from the network processor, as well as configuration and access to the statistics block.

EZdriver along with EZdesign provide extensive debugging capabilities, and enable software-driven debugging features (e.g. breakpoints, single step, register and memory access) to be performed on both the simulator and the actual network processor.
