QorIQ LS2 processor family QorIQ LS2088A Reference Design Board (RDB) The QorIQ LS2088A reference design board is a 1U form-factor tool for evaluation and design of value-added networking applications such as SDN/OpenFlow switching, network-function virtualization (NFV) solutions and enterprise routing. OVERVIEW The NXP QorIQ LS2088A processor is designed to enable The LS2088A reference design has a 1U form factor and will network intelligence and capitalize on the emerging trends conform to all requirements for sale worldwide, including of networking virtualization. The processor goes beyond the certifications for FCC Part 15 Class A. traditional multicore approach, where performance is directly The QorIQ LS2088A RDB comes pre-loaded with NXPs board proportional to the number of cores instantiated. Instead, the support package (BSP) based on standard Linux kernel. LS2088A processor adds an intelligent software-aware packet The comprehensive BSP also enables some of the SoCs new processor, a versatile Layer 2 switch and a management capabilities: complex that simplifies programming and that delivers unprecedented efficiency and new virtualized networks. u Linux kernel support for DPAA2 containers. u DPAA2 L2 switch objects The features and capabilities of the QorIQ LS2088A processor enable designs in enterprise SDN switching and u NADK, a Linux user space environment providing functions routing, cloud data center switching and wireless cell site and interfaces oriented towards packet processing routing. With up to eight 64-bit ARM cores, the processor applications also enables many control-based applications like control u Support for an open architecture parallel processing packet plane functions for branch routers, chassis switches, firewalls engine and WAN optimization controllers. The QorIQ LS2088A RDB provides a comprehensive platform that enables design and evaluation of the product in all its instantiations: with options for configuring an internal 8-port, L2 switch and the powerful and autonomous 40 Gbit/s advanced packet processor.QorIQ LS2085A RDB BLOCK DIAGRAM HARDWARE FEATURES: QorIQ LS2088A RDB SYSTEM BLOCK DIAGRAM u LS2088A CPU Up to 8 x ARM Cortex -A72 cores, up to 2.0 GHz core POR Cfg.
