Ethernet Device Driver
The 802.3 Ethernet Device Driver is developed to support both the 10/ 100 Ethernet IP as well as its Gigabit Ethernet IP.
Overview
The 802.3 Ethernet Device Driver is developed to support both the 10/ 100 Ethernet IP as well as its Gigabit Ethernet IP. The device driver provides communications between the MAC (Medium Access Control) and the OS (Operating System) as well as access to the overlying network layer protocol and the applications layer. The device driver provides developers a complete software solution for quick deployment of 10/100 or Gigabit Ethernet applications in a Linux based network environment. The software driver is compliant with IEEE 802.3 standards. It is written in ANSI C to facilitate quick and simple migration to multiple platforms using Arasan’s Ethernet IPs. The ethernet device driver can be used in PCs, laptop computers, portable media devices, or other compatible embedded systems using Arasan’s Ethernet IPs. To facilitate the development of new network systems, the Arasan Ethernet Linux Device Driver supports a Windows-based Ethereal tool for network packet analysis and an FTP Client WinScp for handling file transfer between Windows and Linux systems.

Vertically Integrated MIPI Solutions
The emerging MIPI standards are designed to ensure interoperability among devices and software that are used in products for the exploding hand-held market. The standards facilitate the interconnection of multiple, mixed-signal integrated circuit devices on a single hand-held product. Use of the standards ensures low power, low pin count and interoperability of all the devices in the system and easy integration.
