Highlights

• Highly embedded and optimized footprint

• Robust and widely deployed

• Supports all Microsemi Enterprise and

Carrier Ethernet switches

Applications

• Enterprise and Small-Medium Enterprise

the Yocto Project (www.yoctoproject.org), an open source collaboration

project that supplies templates, tools, and methods for creating a fully

customizable Linux-based system for embedded products. It also

simplifi es adding new hardware platforms and software packages.

The VSC6830BSP, as provided through the Yocto Project, demonstrates

a fully operational Linux system, including compiler, tool chain, kernel,

and root fi le system. Should a target system be built around another

Linux distribution and/or kernel, the bulk of the BSP will be usable by

adapting the appropriate platform source code. The VSC6830BSP

also operates with Microsemi’s switch API (not included) and supports

VPPD-03405. 1.2. 4/16
