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.
