Background knowledge before reading TRM

Hi,

There is something wrong with the 2nd ethernet interface on my board. It can't receive anything. I posted it here:

http://e2e.ti.com/support/dsp/sitara_arm174_microprocessors/f/791/t/239143.aspx

To solve this problem, I have to read the TRM. But I can't get any help, because there are too many terms I don't understand. Such as sliver, slave, port, CPSW_WR, CPSW_SL, CPGMAC ...

I wonder what these terms are? What these terms for? How these terms work? etc. That is, I need the background knowledge to understand the TRM.

Who can be so kind to tell me where can I start? Is there any reference book I can read?

Thank you so much.
