1.2 KeyStone I Features

Multicore Navigator provides the following features in KeyStone I devices:

  • One hardware queue manager, including:
    • 8192 queues (some dedicated for specific use)
    • 20 descriptor memory regions
    • 2 linking RAMs (one internal to QMSS, supporting 16K descriptors)
  • Several PKTDMAs, located in the following subsystems:
    • QMSS (infrastructure, or core-to-core PKTDMA)
    • AIF2
    • BCP
    • FFTC (A, B, C)
    • NETCP (PA)
    • SRIO
  • Multi-core host notification via interrupt generation (accumulator functionality)

Multicore Navigator was developed based on the design goals while incorporating ideas from leading-edge architectures for Ethernet, ATM, HDLC, IEEE1394, 802.11, and USB communications modules.

Some general features of Multicore Navigator:

  • Centralized buffer management
  • Centralized packet queue management
  • Protocol-independent packet-level interface
  • Support for multi-channel / multi-priority queuing
  • Support for multiple free buffer queues
  • Efficient host interaction that minimizes host processing requirements
  • Zero copy packet handoff

Multicore Navigator provides the following services to the host:

  • Mechanism to queue an unlimited number of packets per channel
  • Mechanism to return buffers to host on packet transmit completion
  • Mechanism to recover queued buffers after transmit channel shut down
  • Mechanism to allocate buffer resources to a given receive port
  • Mechanism to pass buffers to host on completion of a packet reception
  • Mechanism to gracefully stop reception for receive channel shut down
