Abaco Systems / Ramix RM676RCTX Dual Port GigE Controller

The Abaco Systems / Ramix RM676RCTX is a dual-port Gigabit Ethernet controller designed for embedded systems, offering high-speed network connectivity through its two 10/100/1000BaseTX interfaces. This PCI/PCI-X card features a powerful DMA engine for each port with deep FIFO buffers (64KB) to ensure continuous, full-bandwidth operation with minimal PCI overhead. It supports full-duplex operation on each channel and includes advanced host-offloading features such as packet filtering, SNMP and RMON statistic counters, and hardware TCP checksum offloading. The RM676RCTX is compatible with various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, VxWorks, and Solaris, through the provision of native drivers. This controller is suitable for high-performance interconnects requiring real-time determinism. Note that this product has entered a Restricted Production Phase (RPP).
