LS2088ARDB-PB

The LS2088A reference design has a 1U form factor and will
conform to all requirements for sale worldwide, including
certifications for FCC Part 15 Class A.
The QorIQ LS2088A RDB comes pre-loaded with NXP’s board
support package (BSP) based on standard Linux
®
kernel.
The comprehensive BSP also enables some of the SoCs new
capabilities:
u
Linux kernel support for DPAA2 containers.
u
DPAA2 L2 switch objects
u
NADK, a Linux user space environment providing functions
and interfaces oriented towards packet processing
applications
u
Support for an open architecture parallel processing packet
engine
OVERVIEW
The NXP
®
QorIQ LS2088A processor is designed to enable
network intelligence and capitalize on the emerging trends
of networking virtualization. The processor goes beyond the
traditional multicore approach, where performance is directly
proportional to the number of cores instantiated. Instead, the
LS2088A processor adds an intelligent software-aware packet
processor, a versatile Layer 2 switch and a management
complex that simplifies programming and that delivers
unprecedented efficiency and new virtualized networks.
The features and capabilities of the QorIQ LS2088A
processor enable designs in enterprise SDN switching and
routing, cloud data center switching and wireless cell site
routing. With up to eight 64-bit ARM
®
cores, the processor
also enables many control-based applications like control
plane functions for branch routers, chassis switches, firewalls
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

LS2
processor family
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.
