Key Features

• Core and CPU Architecture Eight ARM® Cortex®‑A53 64‑bit cores at 1.4 GHz, providing multicore processing for parallel workloads.
• Datapath Acceleration (DPAA2) NXP’s second‑generation DPAA2 datapath architecture supports sharing of networking interfaces and accelerators across cores and includes acceleration engines to offload packet and data‑path tasks from the CPUs.
• Memory Integrated DDR4 memory controller for high‑speed system memory support.
• High‑Speed Networking Multiple Ethernet interfaces including 2 × 10GbE and 8 × 1GbE to support demanding network throughput and port density.
• Storage and Host Interfaces SATA 6 Gbps (SATA 3.0) for storage connectivity and multiple PCIe 3.0 lanes as shown in the device block diagram for host expansion and accelerator attachment.
• USB Two USB 3.0 ports with PHY for high‑speed peripheral connectivity.
• Security Hardware security features including Secure Boot and ARM® TrustZone® to enable platform integrity and trusted execution.
• Software Ecosystem Supported by NXP’s software toolkit and SDK investments to accelerate development with user‑space, fast‑path and virtualization technologies.
• Package and Mounting 780‑FBGA (23 × 23 mm) surface‑mount package for compact system integration.
• Qualification and Environmental Consumer qualification and RoHS compliant; operating temperature range 0 °C to 105 °C.

Typical Applications

• Intelligent Edge Access — Provides multicore processing and DPAA2 acceleration for edge devices that require local packet processing and real‑time network control.
• NFV and Virtualized CPE — Combines multiple Cortex‑A53 cores with hardware offloads and virtualization support to run virtual network functions and customer premises equipment workloads.
• Wireless Access Point Control — High port density (10GbE and 1GbE) and offload engines support control plane and data plane tasks in access infrastructure.
• Industrial Applications — Integration of networking, storage and security features in a compact FBGA package suits industrial communication and control systems.
