SHELL Library

This is the SHELL library of cloudFPGA platform with its three basic components, i.e. NTS, FMC, NAL. The documentation of the SHELL library is available at https://pages.github.ibm.com/cloudFPGA/Doc/pages/cfdk.html#shell-library . More...

Modules
	FMC
	FPGA Management Core (FMC). The FMC is the core of the cloudFPGA Shell-Role-Architecture. The FMC controls the FPGA and exposes the management functionality via a RESTful HTTP API. Its tasks and responsibilities are sometimes complex and depend on the current situation and environment. In order to unbundle all these dependencies and to allow future extensions easily, the FMC contains a small Instruction-Set-Architecture (ISA). A detailed documentation of the FMC can be found at https://pages.github.ibm.com/cloudFPGA/Doc/pages/cfdk.html#fpga-management-core-fmc .
	MEM
	Memory Sub-System (MEM). This component implements the dynamic memory controllers for the FPGA module FMKU2595 equipped with a XCKU060. This memory sub-system implements two DDR4 memory channels (MC0 and MC1 ), each with a capacity of 8GB. By convention, the memory channel #0 (MC0) is dedicated to the network transport and session (NTS) stack, and the memory channel #1 (MC1) is reserved for the user application. The documentation of MEM is available at https://pages.github.ibm.com/cloudFPGA/Doc/pages/cfdk.html#memory-sub-system-mem.
	NAL
	Network Abstraction Layer (NAL). The NAL separates the privileged management traffic from the unprivileged Role traffic. It also abstracts the details of port opening, connection handling and IP Address translation. The documentation of NAL is available at https://pages.github.ibm.com/cloudFPGA/Doc/pages/cfdk.html#network-abstraction-layer-nal.
	NTS
	Network Transport Stack (NTS). This component implements the TCP/IP Network and Transport Stack used by the cloudFPGA platform. The documentation of NTS is available at https://pages.github.ibm.com/cloudFPGA/Doc/pages/cfdk.html#network-transport-stack-nts.
