Network Device Initialization

The first step towards bringing up the interface is done as part of the hdkif_init(). This function is called when the network device is registered with the lwIP stack using netif_add. As part of the initialization, the netif output callbacks are registered and hardware initialization, including PHY and DMA initialization, is performed. DMA buffer descriptor (BD) pools are maintained in the CPPI RAM for both TX and RX channels. The descriptor chains are maintained by the "free_head", which points to the next unused/free descriptor in the BD pool, and "active_tail", which points to the last BD in the active queue that has been en-queued to the hardware. The packet buffers (pbuf) are pre-allocated for maximum length and queued in the receive buffer descriptors before the reception begins. For details on pbuf handling by lwIP, see the lwIP documentation under lwip-1.4.1\doc.
