The Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture AMBA is used as the on chip bus in system on a chip SoC designs. Since its inception, the scope of AMBA has gone far beyond microcontroller devices, and is now widely used on a range of Application specific integrated circuit ASIC and SoC parts including applications processors used in modern portable mobile devices like smartphones . The AMBA protocol is an open standard, on chip interconnect specification for the connection and management of functional blocks in a System on Chip SoC . It facilitates right first time development of multi processor designs with large numbers of controllers and peripherals. AMBA was introduced by ARM Ltd in 1996. The first AMBA buses were Advanced System Bus ASB and Advanced Peripheral Bus APB . In its 2nd version, AMBA 2, ARM architecture ARM added AMBA High performance Bus AHB that is a single clock edge protocol.

PRISM wireless networking solutions are a family of Conexant chipset s used for Wireless LAN s, and were formerly produced by Intersil Intersil Corporation . Legacy 802.11b products Prism 2 2.5 3 The open source HostAP driver supports the IEEE 802.11 802.11b IEEE 802.11b Prism 2 2.5 3 family of chips. Wireless adaptors which use the Prism chipset are known for compatibility, and are preferred for specialist applications such as packet capture. No win64 drivers are known to exist. Intersil firmware Wired Equivalent Privacy WEP WPA Temporal Key Integrity Protocol TKIP , after update WPA2 CCMP , after update Lucent Agere WEP WPA TKIP in hardware 802.11b g products Prism54, ISL38xx The chipset has undergone a major redesign for 802.11g compatibility and cost reduction, and newer Prism54 chipsets are not compatible with their predecessors. Intersil initially provided a Linux driver for the first Prism54 chips which implemented a large part of the 802.11 stack in the firmware. However, further cost reductions caused a new, lighter firmware to be designed and the amount of on chip memory to shrink, making it impossible to run the older version of the firmware on the latest chips. In the meantime, the PRISM business was sold to Conexant, which never published information about the newer firmware API that would enable a Linux driver to be written. However, a reverse engineering effort eventually made it possible to use the new Prism54 chipsets under the Linux and BSD operating systems.
