The ARM
®
general-purpose processors and DPAA2 are
supported by a powerful software toolkit that provides a higher
level of hardware abstraction and makes software development
quick and simple. This combination balances ease-of-use with
high-performance processing in a Linux
®
environment that
is familiar to any software programmer. Customers can fully
exploit the underlying hardware and easily adapt to network
changes for real-time ‘soft’ control over the network.
SOFTWARE TOOLKIT
OVERVIEW
The QorIQ LS10x8A family of multicore communications
processors combines up to eight ARM
®
Cortex
®
-A53 cores
with the advanced, high-performance datapath and network
peripheral interfaces required for wireless access points,
networking infrastructure and intelligent edge access,
including virtual customer premise equipment (vCPE), and
high-performance industrial applications.
The QorIQ LS10x8A processors include NXP’s second-
generation datapath acceleration architecture (DPAA2).
DPAA2 provides the infrastructure required to support
simplified and secure networking interface and accelerator
sharing by multiple general-purpose CPU cores, while also
providing a range of powerful acceleration engines to
offload software running on the CPUs.
NXP has significant and increasing global investment in software
for the embedded marketplace. The NXP software development
kit (SDK) delivers foundational technologies (user space, fast
path, virtualization) that are continuously ‘upstreamed’ to
support the networking portfolio. With 13+ years experience
of commercial ARM software tooling, operating system
development and delivery, NXP continues to be a strong
supporter of open source and industry
software consortia, including Linaro and
the Linux Foundation.
UNPARALLELED INTEGRATION
QorIQ LS10x8A processors integrate
up to two 10 Gbit/s and eight 1 Gbit/s
Ethernet interfaces with hardware
supported vSwitch capability for PCIe
®
controllers (supporting SR-IOV) and
next-generation SATAIII and USB3
controllers. The next-generation datapath
is complemented with high-performance
acceleration, including security and trust,
pattern matching and data compression.
NETWORKING PERFORMANCE
The QorIQ LS10x8A processors contain
an advanced I/O processor (AIOP) that
offloads the general-purpose ARM
Cortex-A53 cores with in-line or fully
autonomous networking functions,
involving complex look-ups, header
manipulations, and even encapsulations
and encryption.
The next-generation datapath also
provides proven acceleration such as
crypto acceleration and trust architecture,
to meet the ever-increasing demands for
network security and power efficiency.
