The last two bytes, MAC[15:0], are calculated from the serial number stored in the Cavium
EEPROM. This corresponds to the following formula: n –1000, where n is the unique serial
number assigned to each board. So if an ATCA-9305 serial number is 1032, the calculated value
is 32 (20

16

), and the default Ethernet port addresses are:

Cavium 1 SPI 1 MAC address is: 0x00 0x80 0xF9 0x99 0x00 0x20

Cavium 1 SPI 2 MAC address is: 0x00 0x80 0xF9 0x9A 0x00 0x20

Cavium 2 SPI 1 MAC address is: 0x00 0x80 0xF9 0x9B 0x00 0x20

Cavium 2 SPI 2 MAC address is: 0x00 0x80 0xF9 0x9C 0x00 0x20

Cavium Monitor

The primary function of the monitor software is to transfer control of the hardware to the
user’s application. Secondary responsibilities include:

low-level initialization of the hardware

). If the configuration indicates that autoboot is enabled, the monitor
