1. INTRODUCTION
The Gig-cPCI-3U and Gig-cPCI-3U Switch family of network adapter cards and
switches are high-performance, cost-effective solutions for adding Gigabit Ethernet
connectivity to any embedded or real-time network appliance or network access device
which has available slots in their 3U cPCI based systems.
The GigMAC-CPCI-3U and Gig-CPCI-3U-Switch family includes optimized, highperformance driver support for VxWorks and Linux. Instructions for Linux driver
installation are included in this manual. In addition, a companion document titled
“VxWorks Users Manual and Integration Guide” is provided for technical assistance in
integrating and testing the driver in an embedded real-time VxWorks environment.
