Running TCP/IP Over cPCI Backplane
Posted by Boby George on June 5th, 2008


We have hardware that has cPCI backplane. Now we would like to run a TCP/IP
stack over this cPCI backplane. I looked around on MSDN and found few
references to samples like "Sample NDIS WDM Miniport Driver", "NDIS Virtual
Miniport Driver". I am not sure which is the right approach. Are there any
other samples or documentation that I can look into regarding this
implementation. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Boby

Is your hardware an Ethernet hardware? then write NDIS miniport for it.

Our hardware has multiple perpherals like Ethernet, USB, SATA etc. But in
this case I need to run Ethernet protocol stack over the PCI Backplane. I
hope it make sense.

Thanks,

Boby

Then you need a usual NDIS miniport (not NDIS-WDM) talking to your
hardware's registers.
