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 pre-loaded with a board support package (BSP) based on a
standard Linux kernel. 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 4
• 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.
