Card information can be requested from the satellite controller using the mailbox interface. Card information includes:

  • Card name

  • Card serial number
  • Satellite controller version
  • Configuration mode
  • Total power available
  • Fan presence
  • MAC addresses
Note: Card information messages supports one of two MAC addressing schemes depending on the satellite controller firmware operating on the Alveo card:
  1. Legacy mode: Reports up to 4 MAC addresses when the factory default satellite controller firmware is in operation.
  2. Dynamic mode: A scalable solution, which reports more than 4 MAC addresses when the latest satellite controller firmware version is in operation.

The messages required to perform this function are defined in Table 1.
