Virtualization
• Support for HW virtualization and partitioning enforcement
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.
COMPLETE ENABLEMENT,
RICH ECOSYSTEM
The QorIQ LS1 family includes a
comprehensive ecosystem to assure
that ease-of-use is first priority. The
complete offering includes:
} APIs that are compliant with industry
standard consortiums, including Linaro
OpenDataPath (ODP).
} Management software that takes care
of setup, initialization and teardown
of interfaces, accelerators and
networking functions
} Functional datapath libraries that are
performance optimized
} NXP VortiQa software applications
that are bundled for quick networking
application deployment
} Tools (e.g., accelerators, debug)
to make sure you spend your time
creating value-added software
} Powerful combination of NXP and ARM
ecosystems for best-in-class support
} Open-source software, available
upstream for all customers to leverage
