LX2RDBKIT1-10-40

LX2RDBKIT1-10-40 is a Layerscape LX2160A reference design board. It contains transceivers and cables recommended to be used for testing 10/40 Gigabit Ethernet performance on the LX2160ARDB. The LX2160A reference design board provides a comprehensive platform that enables the design and evaluation of the LX2160A or LX2162A processors. It comes preloaded with a board support package (BSP) based on a standard Linux kernel. It enables network intelligence with the next-generation Datapath (DPPA2) which provides differentiated offload and a rich set of IO, including 10 GE, 25 GE, 40 GE, and PCIe Gen3. It supports designs in 5G packet processing, network function virtualization, storage controller, white box switching, network interface cards, and mobile edge computing. It supports all six LX2 family members (16-core LX2160A and LX2161A; 12-core LX2120A and LX2122A; and 8-core LX2080A and LX2082A).

• Delivers unprecedented efficiency and new virtualized networks
• DPDK APIs and example applications
• User space drivers for networking accelerator blocks and examples applications using them
• Virtualization: KVM, Dockers, virtio-net
• Uboot and UEFI bootloaders, standard GNU tool chain
