Cyrus, Are you using MicroAce framework? If yes, you can use the functions provided by ASL on the StrongArm to produce the hash values. Check out * Shared Memory Access API in SDK Reference document * Shared Memory Table example in SDK Guide * How L2bridge manages its forwarding table. -- abhijeet On 26 Jun 2003, Cyrus Hall wrote:

I'm in need of a way to initialize a hashtable for the microengines later use. There appears to be no direct way to access the hash unit on the FBI, but the Microcode Software Reference Manual lists a family of functions called HashSv_* (HashSv_Init, etc). The manual lists the prototypes as being in hashsv.h.

Yet I can't find hashsv.h anywhere. Is this another documented, but nonexistent piece of functionality? And if this is the case, how would people suggest initializing a hash table on the SA for use by the micros? The values to initialize the table will be coming from a configuration file, so hard-coding the table in the ME's doesn't work for me.

Thanks all, Cyrus
