1.0 Introduction
The Intel
®
EP80579 Integrated Processor Product Line Platform Design Guide provides
design recommendations for system designs based on Intel
®
EP80579 Integrated
Processor
or Intel
®
EP80579 Integrated Processor with Intel
®
QuickAssist Technology.
In addition to providing baseboard design recommendations, such as layout and
routing guidelines, this document addresses system design issues.
Carefully follow the design information, schematics and layout checklists provided in
this document. These design guidelines ensure maximum flexibility for board designers
and reduce the risk of board related issues. Intel performs substantial validation testing
based on the design guidelines that are defined in this document. Platforms that do not
follow Intel design guidelines require intense scrutiny by designers, in both simulation
and validation environments, to ensure different implementations are robust and meet
the signal integrity requirements.
