Hi all.
i can't find software developer's manuals for Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 (and some other ethernet cards also from intel).
As i will have to start writing software drivers for many intel network cards (ethernet & wireless mainly) for Bare Metal environment (no OS) on classical intel x86/x64 PCs, i would like to have access to intel developer's manuals for these network cards.
Any idea where i could get them ?
Thanks for your help, and sorry if i forget rules to ask my question on the right forum, as i'm new here ;(
Regards,
ari.

Hello ari,
There are no Developer's Manual for a specific NIC.
Can you please describe what do you have, and what configurations do you need in your system ? There are design guides for chipsets development, but not for adapters.

Marcelo Montero

Hello ari,
Please refer to the following documents:
https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/manuals/64-ia-32-architectures-software-developer-manual-325462.pdf Combined Volume Set of Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manuals (Document 325462) This document contains all seven volumes of the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual: Basic Architecture, Instruction Set Reference A-M, Instruction Set Reference NZ, Instruction Set Reference, and the System Programming Guide, Parts 1, 2 and 3. Refer to all seven volumes when evaluating your design needs.If you need to review a specific volume:

Referring to bare metal (cloud computing?) , are you going to use a specific OS and kernel later, any specific configuration?
I hope this is useful, let me know if you need anything else.

Hi.
Thanks for your responses.
You are right, my question is not clear enough
I'm looking for dev manuals for intel network controllers like this one :
PCI/PCI-X GbE Family of Controllers: Software Developer's Manual
Same manual here:
http://www.intel.fr/content/dam/doc/manual/pci-pci-x-family-gbe-controllers-software-dev-manual.pdf http://www.intel.fr/content/dam/doc/manual/pci-pci-x-family-gbe-controllers-software-dev-manual.pdf
It will be better if there is a central repository for all intel network controllers/adapters dev manuals.
As i only work on bare metal (no OS: i use my own boot loader to boot and run my program coded by myself) environments (x86/x64 motherboards only: PCs, notebooks, mini-pc, stick pc, ...) having intel network controllers installed, i need others dev manuals for these intel network controllers.
some others network controllers/adapters:
- Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 (wifi)
- Ethernet Connection I217-V (ethernet)
- intel centrino wireless-N 2230
- intel 21140-based pci fast ethernet adapter (ethernet)
Any idea where i can find dev manuals for above network controllers/adapters (family controllers dev manuals are enough) like the above link ?
Maybe i'm not in the right forum ?
Regards.
ps: sorry for double posting in hardware forum.

Adding another comment from hardware then deleted the hardware string so that all comments are in one space:

i found dev manual for i217 network controller here :
https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us/en/embedded/products/networking/ethernet-controller-i217-spec-update.html https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us/en/embedded/products/networking/ethernet-controller-i217-spec-update.html
I found this link above, after hours of searching the web, and finally get the following site :
http://wiki.osdev.org/Intel_Ethernet_i217 http://wiki.osdev.org/Intel_Ethernet_i217
So, i could not imagine the time to search other mentioned network controllers/adapters above
