3.4.4. Switch Support

The Switch Support options define switch support characteristics.

Enable Switch Support

Enable switch support, when turned on, sets the SWITCH bit in the Processing Element Features CAR and indicates that the processing element can bridge to another external RapidIO interface. A processing element that only bridges to a local endpoint is not considered a switch port.

Number of Ports

Number of ports specifies the total number of ports on the processing element. This value sets the PORT_TOTAL field of the Switch Port Information CAR.

Port Number

Port number sets the PORT_NUMBER field of the Switch Port Information CAR. This value is the number of the port from which the MAINTENANCE read operation accesses this register.
