Overview

The BCM5719 is the NIC integrated into the Talos™ II systems. It is based on the wildly popular NetXtreme architecture, and there have been efforts to document the internal operation of devices based on that architecture.

As the BCM5719 is the only on-board device on the non-SAS Talos™ II variants to use proprietary firmware, Raptor Computing Systems has started a contest to see who can create a truly libre replacement firmware[1]. Anyone with the appropriate skill set is encouraged to take up the challenge, and contributions to this page as the device is analyzed in detail are welcomed.

Details

On board EEPROM layout (note: may change as understanding of EEPROM file system evolves)

Offset Length Data CRC Protected
0x7e 6 MAC Address (port 0) NO
0xce 6 MAC Address (port 1) NO
