Card information can be requested from the satellite controller using the mailbox interface. Card information includes:
- Card name
- Card revision
- Card serial number
- Satellite controller version
- Configuration mode
- Total power available
- Fan presence
- MAC addresses
Note: Card information messages supports
one of two MAC addressing schemes depending on the satellite controller firmware
operating on the Alveo card:
- Legacy mode: Reports up to 4 MAC addresses when the factory default satellite controller firmware is in operation.
- Dynamic mode: A scalable solution, which reports more than 4 MAC addresses when the latest satellite controller firmware version is in operation.
The messages required to perform this function are defined in Table 1.
