1 The oltr driver uses objects and microcode from Olicom's
2 OC-3300 PowerMACH Works Kit.
4 As the Linux driver says..
5 ==================================================================
7 * This driver uses the Token Ring Low Level Driver (TRlld,
8 * PowerMach Works) as the lower level driver. The PMW kit is
9 * (C) Olicom. The executable object may be distributed along
10 * with this driver for the purpose of linking this driver.
12 =================================================================
13 The low level driver is combined with a FreeBSD specific driver
14 supplied in source, which provides all OS dependent functions.
16 files from olicom are:
18 trlld.o - Olicom low-level driver interface
20 trlldmac.o - TMS 380 Microcode for Olicom TMS380 based cards
21 trlldbm.o - "bullseye" Microcode for Olicom "bullseye" based cards
22 trlldhm.o - "hawkeye" Microcode for Olicom "hawkeye" based cards
24 The file trlld.o is stored in uuencode format as trlld.o.uu
25 It represents a state machine of some kind that has no OS dependencies
26 and communicates with the firmware on the cards via a proprietary interface.
27 All communication with this module is achieved via functions supplied in
28 the FreeBSD specific driver.
30 The other 3 files have been encoded using file2c(1)
31 and represent only microcode to be loaded into the appropriate board
34 Here is the release notice from Olicom regarding these files:
