The oltr driver uses objects and microcode from Olicom's OC-3300 PowerMACH Works Kit. As the Linux driver says.. ================================================================== * * This driver uses the Token Ring Low Level Driver (TRlld, * PowerMach Works) as the lower level driver. The PMW kit is * (C) Olicom. The executable object may be distributed along * with this driver for the purpose of linking this driver. * ================================================================= The low level driver is combined with a FreeBSD specific driver supplied in source, which provides all OS dependent functions. files from olicom are: trlld.o - Olicom low-level driver interface trlldmac.o - TMS 380 Microcode for Olicom TMS380 based cards trlldbm.o - "bullseye" Microcode for Olicom "bullseye" based cards trlldhm.o - "hawkeye" Microcode for Olicom "hawkeye" based cards The file trlld.o is stored in uuencode format as trlld.o.uu It represents a state machine of some kind that has no OS dependencies and communicates with the firmware on the cards via a proprietary interface. All communication with this module is achieved via functions supplied in the FreeBSD specific driver. The other 3 files have been encoded using file2c(1) and represent only microcode to be loaded into the appropriate board when found.
