Hi Scott
Do you also have a management processor on the NIC?
Or is the Application Processor just the Marketing Departments name
for the management processor?
Yes, there is also a management processor.
In our next gen SmartNIC the "Application processor" may actually
have 8 very powerful cores.
But, if they need to be reset, we reset them all.
