NAMEatse —
driver for the Altera Triple-Speed Ethernet MegaCore
SYNOPSISdevice atse
options ATSE_CFI_HACK
In /boot/device.hints:
DESCRIPTIONTheatse device driver provides support for the Altera
Triple-Speed Ethernet MegaCore.
HARDWAREThe current version of theatse driver supports the
Ethernet MegaCore as described in version 11.1 of Altera's documentation when
the device is configured with internal FIFOs.
MAC SELECTIONThe default MAC address for eachatse interface is
derived from a value stored in
cfi(4)
flash. The value is managed by the
atsectl(8)
utility.
Only a single MAC address may be stored in flash. If the address begins with the Altera prefix 00:07:ed and ends in 00 then up to 16 addresses will be derived from it by adding the unit number of the interface to the stored address. For other prefixes, the address will be assigned to atse0 and random addresses will be used for other interfaces. If the stored address is invalid, for example all zero's, multicast, or the default address shipped on all DE4 boards (00:07:ed:ff:ed:15) then a random address is generated when the device is attached.

FreeBSD 10.0.
AUTHORSTheatse device driver and this manual page were
developed by SRI International and the University of Cambridge Computer
Laboratory under DARPA/AFRL contract (FA8750-10-C-0237)
(“CTSRD”), as part of the DARPA CRASH research programme. This
device driver was written by Bjoern A. Zeeb.
BUGSTheatse driver only supports a single configuration of
the MegaCore as installed on the Terasic Technologies Altera DE4 Development
and Education Board.
Only gigabit Ethernet speeds are currently supported.
