4. Project Level Stuff Upgrade to IXA SDK 4.3.1 Project Files C vs. uc
Techx/Development/IXP_SDK_4.3/{cd1,cd2,4-3-1_update}
Project Files
We’re working on them right now.
C vs. uc
Probably any new blocks should be written in C
Existing code (Rx, Tx, QM, Stats) can remain as uc.
Freelist Mgr might go either way.
Stubs:
Do we need them this time around?
SRAM rings:
We need to understand the implications of using them.
No way to pre-test for empty/full?
Subversion
Do we want to take this opportunity to upgrade?
