IXP2400 Intel libraries: kernel/user space
Hello, I am working on IXP2400 and want to use the intel provided libraries for microcode loading/initialization and running. And in many occasions I want to access the Resource Manager APIs as well. I read the documents as provided by Intel , mainly the following Intel IXP2400/IXP2800 Network Processors XScale Support libraries Reference manual. I have not seen any explicit information in the above document which hints on running the resource manager & core compoent libraries in kernel space. Most of the examples that come with the ixa_sdk_3.1 however loads kernel modules which implements these libraries. My question is, can i use the Resource Manager API's & Core Component Library in user space, without loading them as modules (perhaps building these as libraries). I can acccess them in kernel space for sure but I have a feeling that it can be done through user space as well. Any insight on this will be highly valuable. Regards, -Romit
