  |   | 
| − | 
  |   | 
| − | This controller connects to all of the ADC (Analog to Digital Converters), and runs the AVB daemon (`avbd`), which provides AVB connectivity. The `avdecc` and `diag` commands for configuring the ADCs.

  |   | 
| − | 
  |   | 
| − | The OS is Linux, and looks to be named "Bonanza Green Salamander". On the S3L-X 4.6.1.4 release this OS version is 1.2.0.152.

  |   | 
| − | **Networking**
  |   | 
| − | 
  |   | 
| − | This controller provides two Ethernet interfaces, `eth0` and `eth0:avahi` (a virtual interface managed by `avahi-daemon`).
  |   | 
| − | 
  |   | 
| − | The `eth0:avahi` interface has a link-local address that is available even though the `eth0` interface, and is accessible using the address `diamondXXXX.local`, where `XXXX` is replaced by the hex characters of the last two octets of the system MAC address.

- Overview
 
The Avid E3 Engine contains a daughter board, the Diamond Platform controller (see Avid Diamond Platform) running Linux that bridges the physical audio connections of the E3 engine with the AVB protocol stack.
It also contains a second daughter board, the Feroceon-KW controller (see Avid Feroceon-KW) running Linux that enables the Ethernet switching functionality of the AVB ports (ports A, B, and C). It also provides an EUCON proxy for connecting to the Avid S3 Console.
The fourth Ethernet port is controlled by Windows.
This is a rough block diagram based on my current understanding from my digging.
