1. Is it possible to get the interface configuration from microcode, such as the ip address given in the ixsys.config?

You could share the ip adress or other info between the strongarm and microengines through scratchpad memory.

2. In the StrongARM code, do I have to use crosscalls to get this information from the ingressACE, or is there another way? If no other way, is there an example I could look at on how to use the crosscall?

you might look up the ixsys.config file from the strongarm code, but it is probably better to use crosscalls. Don't know about examples, but the SDK reference docs will help. _________________________________________________________________ Concerned that messages may bounce because your Hotmail account has exceeded its 2MB storage limit?
