AX772/AX178 and AX172 USB-Ethernet Drivers |
AX772/AX178 and AX172 USB-Ethernet DriversThe USB AX772 and AX172 Ethernet drivers support the ASIX AX88772, AX88772B, AX88178, and AX88172 USB-Ethernet bridge devices in 10Mbs or 100Mbs half/full duplex mode in full speed and high speed mode. The AX88178 also supports Gigabit Ethernet mode. These drivers are not complete network stack device driver. Rather, they have an API which can be used to implement such a driver. On Time's network stack RTIP-32 contains such a driver. Applications which need to support AX88772/AX88772B/AX88178 or AX88172 devices should register USBAX772 and/or USBAX172 using RTURegisterCallback before any USB host controllers are registered. In addition, the network stack's driver must be loaded. For example, the RTIP-32 device driver must be installed using xn_bind_ax772 or xn_bind_ax172 and xn_interface_open. More information about the USB-Ethernet bridge driver's APIs are available in the RTUSB-32 Reference Manual. With the exception of functions USBAX772 and USBAX172, RTIP-32 users do not need to use the driver's API directly.
