Intel IXP400 manual Deprecated APIs

Intel® IXP400 Software

Access-Layer Components: NPE-Downloader (IxNpeDl) API

The IxNpeDl should be uninitialized prior to unloading an application module or driver. (This will unmap all memory that has been mapped by IxNpeDl.) If possible, IxNpeDl should be uninitialized before a soft reboot.

Here is a sample function call to uninitialize IxNpeDl:

ixNpeDlUnload();

Note: Calling ixNpeDlUnload twice or more in succession will cause all subsequent calls after the first one to exit harmlessly but return a FAIL status.
