28.Dt JME 4
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm jme
32.Nd JMicron Gigabit/Fast Ethernet driver
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile this driver into the kernel,
35place the following lines in your
36kernel configuration file:
37.Bd -ragged -offset indent
38.Cd "device miibus"
39.Cd "device jme"
40.Ed
41.Pp
42Alternatively, to load the driver as a
43module at boot time, place the following line in
44.Xr loader.conf 5 :
45.Bd -literal -offset indent
46if_jme_load="YES"
47.Ed
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51device driver provides support for JMicron JMC25x PCI Express
52Gigabit Ethernet controllers and JMicron JMC26x PCI Express Fast
53Ethernet controllers.
54.Pp
55All LOMs supported by the
56.Nm
57driver have TCP/UDP/IP checksum offload for both transmit and receive,
58TCP segmentation offload (TSO), hardware VLAN tag stripping/insertion
59features, Wake On Lan (WOL) and an interrupt coalescing/moderation
60mechanism as well as a 64-bit multicast hash filter.
61.Pp
62The JMC25x also supports Jumbo Frames (up to 9216 bytes), which can be
63configured via the interface MTU setting.
64Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
65.Xr ifconfig 8
66utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames.
67.Pp
68The
69.Nm
70driver supports the following media types:
71.Bl -tag -width ".Cm 10baseT/UTP"
72.It Cm autoselect
73Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
74The user can manually override
75the autoselected mode by adding media options to
76.Xr rc.conf 5 .
77.It Cm 10baseT/UTP
78Set 10Mbps operation.
79.It Cm 100baseTX
80Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
81.It Cm 1000baseTX
82Set 1000baseTX operation over twisted pair.
83.El
84.Pp
85The
86.Nm
87driver supports the following media options:
88.Bl -tag -width ".Cm full-duplex"
89.It Cm full-duplex
90Force full duplex operation.
91.It Cm half-duplex
92Force half duplex operation.
93.El
94.Pp
95For more information on configuring this device, see
96.Xr ifconfig 8 .
97.Sh HARDWARE
98The
99.Nm
100device driver provides support for the following Ethernet controllers:
101.Pp
102.Bl -bullet -compact
103.It
104JMicron JMC250 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller
105.It
106JMicron JMC251 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet with Card Read Host controller
107.It
108JMicron JMC260 PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller
109.It
110JMicron JMC261 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet with Card Read Host controller
111.El
112.Sh LOADER TUNABLES
113Tunables can be set at the
114.Xr loader 8
115prompt before booting the kernel or stored in
116.Xr loader.conf 5 .
117.Bl -tag -width "xxxxxx"
118.It Va hw.jme.msi_disable
119This tunable disables MSI support on the Ethernet hardware.
120The default value is 0.
121.It Va hw.jme.msix_disable
122This tunable disables MSI-X support on the Ethernet hardware.
123The default value is 0.
124.El
125.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
126The following variables are available as both
127.Xr sysctl 8
128variables and
129.Xr loader 8
130tunables:
131.Bl -tag -width "xxxxxx"
132.It Va dev.jme.%d.tx_coal_to
133Maximum amount of time to delay for Tx completion interrupt in
134units of 1us.
135The accepted range is 1 to 65535, the default is 100 (100us).
136.It Va dev.jme.%d.tx_coal_pkt
137Maximum number of packets to fire Tx completion interrupt.
138The accepted range is 1 to 255, the default is 8.
139.It Va dev.jme.%d.rx_coal_to
140Maximum amount of time to delay for Rx completion interrupt in
141units of 1us.
142The accepted range is 1 to 65535, the default is 100 (100us).
143.It Va dev.jme.%d.rx_coal_pkt
144Maximum number of packets to fire Rx completion interrupt.
145The accepted range is 1 to 255, the default is 2.
146.It Va dev.jme.%d.process_limit
147Maximum amount of Rx events to be processed in the event loop before
148rescheduling a taskqueue.
149The accepted range is 10 to 255, the default value is 128 events.
150The interface does not need to be brought down and up again before
151a change takes effect.

161.Sh HISTORY
162The
163.Nm
164driver was written by
165.An Pyun YongHyeon
166.Aq yongari@FreeBSD.org .
167It first appeared in
168.Fx 7.1 .
169.Sh CAVEATS
170The
171.Nm
172driver tries to avoid unnecessary station address reprogramming for
173controllers that use eFuse to store station address.
174The number of times that eFuse can be safely reprogrammed is 16 at
175most.
176In addition, there is no way to restore factory default station
177address once station address is reprogrammed via eFuse.
178It is highly recommended not to reprogram station address and
179it is responsibility of administrator to store original station
180address into a safe place when station address should be changed.
181.Pp
182There are two known 1000baseT link establishment issues with JMC25x.
183If the full mask revision number of JMC25x controller is less than
184or equal to 4 and link partner enabled IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient
185Ethernet feature,  the controller would not be able to establish a
1861000baseT link.
187Also if the length of cable is longer than 120 meters, controller
188can not establish a 1000baseT link.
189The known workaround for the issue is to force manual link
190configuration with 100baseTX instead of relying on auto-negotiation.
191The full mask revision number of controller could be checked with
192verbose kernel boot option.
193Use lower nibble of chip revision number to get full mask revision of
194the controller.
