GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The MUSIC MU9C8358L/8338A Evaluation Kit is a
hardware and software platform which allows either chip
to be fully evaluated. It has an 8358L or 8338A Ethernet
Filter, MUSIC LANCAM, 10/100 Mb PHY, RJ-45
connector, and a standard parallel port interface. A socket
is provided which will allow the user to use the Low
Voltage version LANCAM supplied with the kit or any
device in the 3.3v LANCAM-L family. The board is
plugged into a PC parallel port using the 25-pin connector
that is provided. Four 38-pin high-density logic analyzer
connectors are available which will allow all of the
8358L/8338A, LANCAM, and MII signals to be
inspected. A 110V power adaptor is also provided. Figure
1 shows the 8358L version of the kit.

A Windows software tool is provided that will allow the

user to quickly inspect the LANCAM database. Entries
that have been added to the database can be viewed in
their raw 64-bit LANCAM form. Additionally, the four
16-bit segments are decoded and shown as an individual
48-bit Ethernet address, Time-stamp, Port ID and
Permanent bit.

Some C-code files are also included that will allow the
user to initialize the Filter and LANCAM. Once
initialized, real network packets can be received through
the RJ-45 connector. The user may add or delete entries,
increase the Time-stamp value, and purge entries using the
software registers or the INCR hardware pin. The user
may also view the data that is available through the Result
and Tag port(s). Figure 2 shows the CAMView Software
tool that is supplied with the kit.

The Evaluation kit will allow the user to develop
initialization code and software maintenance routines. The
simple C functions and C software program skeleton
provided allows the kit hardware to be accessed using a
standard C compiler. Due to the simple parallel port
interface, the user may also develop their software using

other software languages by performing simple parallel
port accesses. A typical user would use the kit to
familiarize themselves using the supplied C code. This
would involve initializing the board, transmitting packets
to the board, and viewing the LANCAM database using
the software GUI.
