general programming framework

I am working on a ENP-2505 from Intel which is based on the IXP. With this card came a bunch of disks with a bunch of programs. I have having trouble understanding how the entire system fits together, partly because the documentation seems to be written for a different set up then what I am using. The documentation describes running certain programs on an NT machine, certain programs under cygwin, and certain programs on a separate linux box. I don't have multiple machines, though. The ENP sits in a standard linux box and some programs run in linux and some in windows running on vmware. At this point I am really confused. I was hoping that someone who understood all of this could point me to some documents that might explain how all of this works. I have tried reading the documentation from intel but as far as I can tell it doesn't describe my setup. I have the IXP1200 programming book from Intel but it only discusses microACEs, not the entire picture. Can anyone explain the big picture and walk me through how to run a hello world program on the hardware? Thanks for any help you can offer.

IXP1200 standalone

Hi, I have been trying the VERA package for IXP1200. I have a couple of questions and would really appreciate it if you could respond to them. I followed the instructions and got everything to build, changed jumper settings, update firmware, etc. The IPmm demo program works when IXP1200 is plugged into a PC PCI in passive backplane. Now, I am trying to use the libraries to compile a standalone application instead of using a linux host to download. I compile using a big-endian arm cross-compiler. I am getting some errors in Libcii (fmt.c), as well as ethernet port initialization, and systimer and a few other initialization routines. Has anybody successfully compiled IPmm or others to run as a standalone (with cygmon as boot loader) in big-endian mode? Are there any firmware-specific or big/little-endian portion of the libraries that needs to be ported? Thanks so much! Regards, Charles
