1.0 Product Overview
1.1 Introduction
This document describes the requirements and plan to build an Evaluation
Module (EVM) for CN8478/CN8474A/CN8472A/CN8471A (MUSYCC). This
document captures EVM requirements from marketing and engineering for the
specification, design, software development, integration, and production phases.
As a marketing collateral, the EVM is sold or otherwise made available to
customers for the purposes of demonstrating features and accelerating customers’
time to market.
The CN8478 EVM is a demonstration and test platform that allows system
developers and product designers to test and evaluate the functionality and
performance of the CN8478 chip.
The CN8478 EVM is an eight-channel synchronous communication module
with T1 and E1 interfaces. Each physical line is supported by the Bt8370 T1/E1
transceiver, which provides support for data link maintenance, and one
High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) controller supported by the CN8478,
which formats up to 256 HDLC channels.
The CN8478 EVM software is implemented under the Windows NT 4.0
operating system as a Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) MiniPort
driver. The WinNT driver code is available with the CN8478 EVM product.
The CN8478 EVM Toolbox is divided into three levels: physical level, logical
level, and application level. It is used to perform several functions:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Loopback testing
Reading channel statistics
Reading PCI configurations
Configuring dynamic hyperchanneling
Reading from and writing to device registers
Reading from and writing to shared memory

Panel window and select CN8478 EVM Toolbox. This removes all files and
information from the registry entries.
2.3.3 Driver Setup (OEMSETNT.INF, ROKWAN.SYS)
Each NDIS driver must provide a setup file, called an OEMSETNT.INF script,
containing information about how the driver is loaded and its relationships to
other network drivers. During system setup, the network is configured on the
machine, and the setup file for each network component writes to the registry.
This describes how these components fit within the set of installed network
drivers that are bound into the network stack. The new network driver is the
Conexant WAN Adapter, ROCKWAN.SYS. To install the driver, perform the
following steps:
1. From the Start menu, choose Settings and Control Panel.
2. From the Control Panel, double click the Network icon.
3. From the Network window, choose Adapters.

The Backdoor mechanism (messages) communicates to the I/O manager in order
to query and get data.
The I/O manager converts the I/O request from user and kernel-mode threads
into properly sequenced calls to the NIC driver routine. Through the backdoor
mechanism, an interface is defined so all device drivers can communicate with
the application (GUI) in the same way. Therefore, the application need not know
any specific device drivers’ APIs that will be called in the device-specific part of
NIC driver.
2.4.1 Network Driver
The CN8500 EVM NIC driver is a network device driver, implemented as a
component in the I/O architecture. Windows NT includes integrated networking
capabilities and support for distributed applications. The networking level is
supported by a series of network drivers, illustrated in Figure 2-3.

2.4.2 Windows NT Registry Entry
•
•
Setup—loads new configuration data to the Registry.
Recognizer—places hardware configuration in your Registry when you
start a computer running Windows NT.
•
Windows NT Kernel—extracts information from the Registry (such as
which device drivers to load and their load order) during the system
startup.
•
•
Device drivers—send and receive load parameters and configuration data
from the Registry.
A device driver must report system resources it uses, such as hardware
interrupts and DMA channels, so the system can add this information to
the Registry. Application and device drivers can read this Registry
information to provide users with smart installation and configuration
programs.
•
•
•
Administrative tools—can be used to modify configuration data.
Agenda—
Process—an address space, set of objects (resources) visible to the process,
and a set of threads that run in the context of the process. A thread is most
the basic schedulable entity in the system. The process has its own set of
registers, its own kernel stack, a thread environment block, and user stack
in the address space of its process.
•
Kernel—schedules threads to be executed. The threads are defined in the
context of the process which defines an address space, a set of objects
visible to the process, and a set of threads that runs in the context of the
process. The kernel manages two types of objects:

3.1 Block Diagram
Figure 3-1 illustrates a block diagram of the evaluation board. It includes four
Bt8370 circuits, receive and transmit connected (T1 or E1) lines interface, a serial
bus used to transfer data between these circuits, and the Bt8474 (MUSYCC). The
data is transferred between the Bt8474 and the host through the Peripheral
Component Interconnect (PCI) bus. The Bt8370 circuits are configured and
controlled using the Expansion Bus (EBUS).

Evaluation Module User’s Guide
3.2 Expansion Bus
The expansion bus, mastered by the Bt8474, controls and configures the four
Bt8370 chips. It is configured as an Intel-style bus (refer to the Bt8474 datasheet for
details), and uses only the sixteen lower address/data lines of the 32 bits available on
the Bt8474. However, even though 16-bit data transfer can be achieved in this
configuration, all EBUS data access will be 8 bits wide because the connected
devices (the four Bt8370 chips and the latch register) support only this format.
The address decoding logic is centered on U2 and U3, which generate all
necessary chip select signals for the different devices connected to the bus.
Figure 3-2 illustrates the resulting memory map of the E-bus.

3.3 PCI Bus
The latch (U4) controls some hardware signals on the board. Although the
latch address ranges from A000 to AFFF (hex), only one physical location can be
accessed with any of these. This latch cannot be read, and only the following bits
are used (numbering from 0–7):
Bit 1—When reset, disables interrupt A on the Bt8474 (INTA# line
disconnected from PCI bus).
Bit 2—When reset, disables interrupt B on the Bt8474.
Bit 4—When reset, activates the reset signal on all four Bt8370 devices.
This allows the software driver to perform a hardware reset whenever
necessary.
Upon power–up, all these signals are reset (all active); therefore, all Bt8370
circuits will remain in the reset state until the software sets Bit 4.
3.3 PCI Bus
The PCI interface on the Bt8474 is connected to a 5 V, 32-bit PCI bus. The two
interrupt lines, INTA* and INTB*, can be disabled by software, if necessary, by
setting to zero the appropriate bits in the previously described latch.
The JTAG port is also wired to the connector for testing. The optional J2
header allows connection to the GNT# signal if a PCI bus analyzer is used.

3.5 T1 / E1 Line Interface
3.5 T1 / E1 Line Interface
The line interface connects the Bt8370 to the T1 or E1 line. The transformer has a
3 kV insulation to allow the board to pass tests in European countries. The line
filter reduces the electromagnetic interference. The Polyswitch and P1553AB
components (FSx and Zx) protect the transformer from power surges. The
optional E1 jumper allows the user to change the receive termination impedance
to match the T1 or E1 requirements. By default, the board does not have this
header and is configured for T1 line (100 Ω). If the jumper is set, the board is

Evaluation Module User’s Guide
Communication between the user and kernel modes uses the DeviceIOControl
function that passes the defined I/O control code to the NDIS driver, requesting
the Device Specific driver.
4.1.1 NT NDIS Interface
The NT NDIS interface implements the functions required to comply with the
NDIS 4.0 specification. These functions respond to query and set operations from
the NDIS wrapper, and maintain proper state information for the WAN links.
In the NT kernel mode driver, the starting point is the DriverEntry function,
which initializes driver data structures and prepares the environment for all other
components.
The Query InformationHdlr function returns information about the
capabilities and status of the driver, in this case, for a specific NIC driver handled
by the CN8478 EVM Toolbox. This function calls the DevSpecific function,
which is the envelope for all APIs used to configure and perform the application
requests.
4.1.2 CN8478 Driver
The CN8478 driver is the set of functions used to reset, configure, and maintain
the device. The CN8478 driver supports a dynamically grouped configuration:
•
•
Channel assignments
Protocols (Transparent, SS7-HDLC-FCS16, HDLC-FCS16,
HDLC-FCS32)
•
•
Receive and transmit message loopbacks
Time slot assignments
Communication between the CN8478 and the host is done through the service
request mechanism. The following service requests are supported by the CN8478
driver:
•
•
•
•
•
Soft Chip Reset
Global Configuration
Channel Group Configuration
Read Channel Configuration
Channel Activation and Deactivation
The device must acknowledge each request to a specific group before any
other service request may be issued. All buffer descriptors and packet blocks are
statically allocated; however, a large amount of RAM is required. The transmit
and receive mechanism is implemented by a linked circular list. The host creates a
circular list of buffers for each channel, and the last buffer in the list points to the
first one. All buffers in the list are initially host-owned. The host-fill process
merely checks the OWNER status of the next buffer before filling. If the next
buffer is host-owned, the host fills it and flips the OWNER bit to grant ownership
to MUSYCC. If the next buffer is MUSYCC-owned, the host waits for MUSYCC
to empty the buffer and become host-owned. At this point, the buffer can be
filled.

This chapter describes how to use the CN8478 EVM Toolbox for Windows NT.
5.1 Starting the CN8478 EVM Toolbox
The software installation process adds the CN8478 EVM Toolbox to the
Programs menu.
To start the CN8478 EVM Toolbox, perform these steps:
1. From the Start menu, choose Programs.
2. From the Program menu, click on CN8478 EVM Toolbox.
The main menu appears, as illustrated in Figure 5-1. The main menu is always
displayed so you can move from one level to another. All windows can be open at
the same time.
Figure 5-1. Main Menu of the CN8478 EVM Toolbox
5.2 Main Menu
The CN8478 EVM can be configured at three levels:
1. Application level—performs testing and maintenance.
2. Logical level—allows channel assignments and time slot monitoring.
3. Physical level—is a component register editor.

5.3.2 Loopback Tests
The Application Level window provides a framer loopback test for diagnostics,
maintenance, and troubleshooting. There are two loopback interfaces, one for
each device—the Bt8370 and the CN8478.
5.3.2.1 Bt8370
Loopback
Select the applicable Bt8370 device and port by selecting the group from the
Group drop-down list box.
The default configuration for Bt8370 loopback is run (the arrow is green).
Clicking the Stop button stops the loopback (the arrow turns red). The stop
condition takes the Bt8370 out of loopback mode but does not stop the transmit
message if a CN8478 loopback test is still running. The Bt8370 loopback
interface is illustrated in Figure 5-6.

Loopback
While the Bt8370 is running, you can run a CN8478 loopback test. The CN8478
default configuration is one time slot per channel, protocol HDLC-FCS16. (Use
the logical level to change the configurations.)
To run a loopback test, follow these steps:
1. Select the group (port) number from the Group drop-down list box in the
Loopback Tests area, illustrated in Figure 5-7.
Figure 5-7. CN8478 Loopback Tests Area
2. If you want to disable Self Test for a particular channel, it must be done
before you begin the test. Select the channel from the Channel drop-down
list box, and click With Self Test to remove the check. When Self Test is
disabled, matching between transmit and receive is not performed for that
channel during the loopback test.
3. In the grid at the bottom of the application level window, select the
channels you want to test by clicking at the junction of the channel to test
and the Run Bt847x Test row. This begins the test. An example of the Run
CN8478 Test running 10 of the 23 channels is illustrated in Figure 5-8.
4. With Self Test enabled, the Verify Success box indicates whether or not the
contents of the transmitted frame are identical with the contents of the
received frame; the matching is done byte by byte. In Figure 5-8, all
channels have Self Test enabled except channel 6.
5. To stop the loopback test in one channel, click the X under the channel
number.

Monitor Errors
When you click Monitor Errors, the Toolbox retrieves real-time information from
the driver related to receive and transmit errors in all running channels. The
display is updated every five seconds. Receive errors are checksum, buffers,
abort, short, and out-of-frame. Transmit errors are abort and short. Another error
is Verify Failed. When you click Stop Monitoring, the grid returns to the
loopback, which has continued running in the background.
Figure 5-10 illustrates the monitor errors display.

5.4 Logical Level
In Logical level, you can configure the protocol and time slots’ assignment for
each logical channel.
NOTE: The configuration should not be changed while the channels are active.
This means that a “Stop test for all ch” is recommended before changing
channel configurations.
The CN8478 is initialized when the Application level is opened. Therefore,
open it and leave it open while working in the Logical level.
There are two modes in logical level: CN8478 and Bt8370.
5.4.1 CN8478 Logical Level
The Timeslot Map Configuration area allows hyperchannel capability tests. You can
map several time slots on one logical channel and then run a loopback test in the
application level window. Figure 5-12 illustrates the Logical level window. The
speed of appropriate channels is shown in the Transmit and Receive information
area.
Figure 5-12. Bt847x Logical Level Window
Follow these steps to assign a new time slot to a channel:
1. Select the group in the Options menu.
2. In the Bt847x Logical level window, click the specific channel, then click
the time slot. The color of the time slot cell changes to match the channel
cell color.
3. When you finish selecting time slots for the channel, click the Write button
to save the configuration. (Clicking Default causes the configuration to
return to one time slot per channel.)
Follow these steps to assign protocols to a channel:
1. Click one of the four protocols in the Protocol area, and then click the
channel.
