Preface

The Netra CP2500 Board Programming Guide is written for program developers and users who want to program the Netra CP2500 board in order to design original equipment manufacturer (OEM) systems, supply additional capability to an existing compatible system, or work in a laboratory environment for experimental purposes. You are required to have a basic knowledge of computers and digital logic programming to fully use the information in this document.

The Netra CP2500 can be used by network equipment providers (NEPs) and carriers to scale and improve the availability of next-generation, carrier-grade systems. The Netra CP2500 functions as a node board in a cPSB system rack or as a CPU board in the Netra CT 810 or 410 cPCI server.

How This Book Is Organized

Chapter 1 provides details on the Netra CP2500 watchdog timer driver and its operation.

Chapter 2 describes the specific environmental monitoring functions of the Netra CP2500.

Chapter 3 describes the user flash driver for the Netra CP2500 on-board flash PROMs and how to use it.
