QorIQ™ Multicore Processor Development
P2020E/P2010E Reference Design Board
The P2020RDB is a highly integrated
reference design board that can help shorten
your time to market. The reference design
is aimed at networking, wired and wireless
access, industrial and medical applications.
This cost-effective board is based on the
QorIQ™ P2020E processor family, along with
leading-edge external components to help
you quickly design and implement your target
application.
The P2020RDB leverages the P2020E
processor and supports both the dual-
core P2020E and single-core P2010E
configurations. The P2020E processor
family is based on the e500 core, built on
Power Architecture
®
technology, which has
a core frequency range of 800–1200 MHz,
and supports a 32 KB instruction and L1
data cache and a shared 512 KB frontside
cache. The P2020E also supports three
Gigabit Ethernet controllers with IEEE
®
1588 v2 support, USB 2.0, up to three PCI
Express
®
1.0a controllers, up to two Serial
RapidIO
®
controllers, up to two SGMII SerDes
interfaces, 32-/64-bit DDR2/3 with ECC,
SPI controller supporting booting from SPI
serial flash memory, SD/MMC card controller
supporting booting from flash cards and an
integrated security engine. The new P2020E
family, built in 45 nm process technology,
provides high integration that simplifies board
design and offers a cost-effective solution.
The P2020RDB platform features 1
GB unbuffered DDR2 SDRAM, 16
MB NOR flash and 32 MB NAND
flash, where the platforms can boot
from either NOR or NAND flash
memory. It supports six Gigabit-
capable ports via an SGMII PHY,
an RGMII PHY and an on-board
switch with four ports, as well as a
single-port USB on-the-go (OTG).
The P2020RDB also supports a
PCI Express add-in connector
and a MiniPCI Express slot, as
well as an SD/MMC card slot.
These components, integrated
with the P2020E family, provide an
application-specific platform that
can help you get a jump start on
your next application design. In
addition, the P2020RDB provides
a simplified migration path for
existing PowerQUICC
®
processor
customers wishing to migrate to
QorIQ multicore processors. Customers can
migrate to the single-core P2010E initially,
as a stepping stone, on their way to dual
multicore processing.
Since the P2020E family is pin-compatible
with the P1020E family, the P2020RDB can
also be used as a development vehicle for the
P1020E family.
Along with the hardware support, the
P2020RDB comes with a board support
package (BSP) that includes both U-boot
and Linux
®
2.6 operating system support.
The platform is also available with third-party
software applications. To see demonstrations
or to acquire details of Freescale’s third-party
applications for this platform, please contact
