Hi, I just have an ixp1200 to develope some applications. Through Intel provides its MicroACE as an default framework for the development, there's some thing that can not fitted into it well; then, following MicorACE becomes painful. Yet, Intel doesn't provide any documents on how to get rid of MicroACE. There's not a clear document on the APIes, which can be used by the application to directly inject microcodes into microengines, and trigger the operation. Would anyone with such experiences give some hints? Regards. Irvin
Would anyone with such experiences give some hints?
I spent a couple months trying to do exactly that on the ixp1200: run microcode without the ACE architecture. The short answer is, "you are correct, there is no documentation for doing so, but you have source available to you that does do what you want to, so you can see how it does it". I never found said code, I think its called 'the reference implementation', so I don't have the long answer for you. Ulimately, we decided to just use the MicroACE architecture. However, if you do have any luck, I would love to hear about it. Najati Imam
