QorIQ T1040 AND T1042 COMMUNICATIONS PROCESSORSe5500 CORE
The T1 family is based on the 64-bit
e5500 Power Architecture core, which
uses a seven-stage pipeline for low
latency response to unpredictable
code execution paths, boosting single-
threaded performance.
e5500 Core Features
} Supports up to 1.5 GHz core
frequencies
} Tightly coupled low latency cache
hierarchy
} 32 KB I/D (L1), 256 KB L2 per core
} Up to 256 KB of shared platform
cache (L3)
} 3.0 DMIPS/MHz per core
} Up to 64 GB of addressable
memory space
} Hybrid 32-bit mode to support
legacy software and seamless
transition to 64-bit architecture
VIRTUALIZATION
The T1 family includes support for
hardware-assisted virtualization. The
e5500 core offers an extra core privilege
level (hypervisor). Virtualization software
for the T1 family includes kernel-
based virtual machine (KVM), Linux
®
OS containers, NXP hypervisor and
commercial virtualization software from
Green Hills
®
Software and Enea
®
.
DATA PATH ACCELERATION
ARCHITECTURE (DPAA)
The T1 family integrates the QorIQ
DPAA, an innovative multicore
infrastructure for scheduling work to
cores (physical and virtual), hardware
accelerators and network interfaces.
Frame manager (FMAN)
13 Gb/s classify, parse
and distribute
Buffer manager (BMAN) 64 buffer pools
Queue manager (QMAN) Up to 2
24
queues
Security (SEC) 5 Gb/s: 3DES, AES
