Ethernet Controller
Ethernet support provided by the PPC440EPx interfaces to the physical layer but the PHY is not included on the
chip:
DMA-to-PLB3 (64-bit) Controller
This DMA controller provides a DMA interface between OPB0 and PLB3.
Features include:
DMA-to-PLB4 (128-bit) Controller
This DMA controller provides a DMA interface between the OPB1 dedicated to the USB 2.0 device ports and
PLB4.
Features include:
AMCC Proprietary
