Control Descriptions

§ BoSS program sets the BoSS into a default state by issuing a software reset and then writing 0s into

all indirect registers. The software also runs a register diagnostic to ensure it can correctly write and

read all BoSS registers. The address of the buffer, descriptor, and queue are displayed in the message

box when the process is done. If the diagnostic fails, the software creates an error message and

displays it in the message box at the bottom of the main GUI interface.

§ BoSS program loads the BoSS registers with the settings in the GUI interface when this button is hit.

“Successfully configured port #” is displayed in the message box if successful.

§ The program transmits and receives packets based on the user’s selections. “Test Done” is displayed

in the message box when the test is done.

§ The user can stop the test any time. “Test stopped by user” is displayed in the message box when the

user hits this button.

§ This brings up a screen with detailed information about the packet results (Figure 2-3, Figure 2-4, and

Figure 2-5).

§ This brings the Physical Memory Viewer screen up (Figure 2-6). The software prompts the user for an

address, then dumps the next 32 dwords to the screen. The user manually cancels the screen. This

button is only active when a test is not being run.

§ This brings up the BoSS Registers screen (Figure 2-7) for the user to read from or write into the

register by hex number.

§ This brings up the DMA Configuration screen (Figure 2-8) for the user to configure the DMA by their

desired values. Otherwise, the software uses default values to configure the DMA.

§ The message box at the bottom of the main GUI displays the status of the process.
