LX2160ARDB Overview
The QorIQ
®
LX2160A reference design board (RDB) provides a comprehensive platform that enables design and evaluation of
the QorIQ LX2160A processor. The LX2160ARDB comes preloaded with Layerscape software development kit (LSDK) image.
The board comes in a 1U rackmount chassis form factor. It is lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
The board:
• Enables network intelligence with the next generation Datapath (DPPA2) which provides differentiated offload and a rich
set of input/output, including 10/25/40 Gigabit Ethernet and PCIe Gen 3
• Delivers unprecedented efficiency and new virtualized networks
• Supports designs in 5G packet processing, network function virtualization, storage controller, white box switching, network
interface cards, and mobile edge computing
• Supports all three LX2 family members (16-core LX2160A, 12-core LX2120A, and 8-core LX2080A)
This document provides detailed information about LX2160ARDB interfaces, power supplies, clocks, DIP switches, LEDs, and
CPLD system controller.
