• Security and boot  Secure Boot and Arm® TrustZone® support plus a service processor providing pre‑boot initialization and secure‑boot capabilities (as described in the datasheet).
• Peripheral interfaces  Integrated SPI, QSPI, four I2C controllers, enhanced SD host controller, two DUARTs and an Integrated Flash Controller (IFC 2.0) for broad peripheral support.
• Package, mounting and thermal  1292‑ball FCPBGA package (1292‑FCPBGA, 37.5 × 37.5 mm), surface mount, rated for operation from 0 °C to 105 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant and qualified with a consumer classification per the provided specifications.
• Graphics  No graphics acceleration included, as specified.

Typical Applications

• Embedded networking and edge routers  Multi‑core processing and multiple 10GbE/2.5GbE MACs plus DPAA2 acceleration make the device suitable for packet processing and edge networking platforms.
• Network security and appliance platforms  On‑chip cryptography acceleration and Secure Boot/TrustZone support enable secure VPN, firewall and security gateway implementations.
• Storage gateways and NAS controllers  Dual SATA 6 Gbps controllers, integrated flash controller and USB 3.0 support storage interface and gateway functions.
• High‑performance embedded compute  Eight Cortex‑A72 cores and DDR4 memory support enable compute‑intensive embedded applications requiring high concurrency and I/O bandwidth.

Unique Advantages

• High compute density: Eight 64‑bit Cortex‑A72 cores at up to 2.1 GHz provide substantial parallel processing for embedded workloads.
• Integrated datapath acceleration: DPAA2 elements (packet parsing, queue management, crypto, pattern matching, compression) reduce software overhead for networking and data‑plane functions.
• Extensive high‑speed I/O: Multiple 10GbE/2.5GbE MACs, PCIe 3.0 controllers, SATA and USB 3.0 simplify system design by consolidating I/O on a single device.
• Security and secure boot features: Secure Boot, TrustZone® and a service processor for pre‑boot initialization help protect platform integrity from power‑on.
• Robust memory and storage support: DDR4 with ECC, integrated flash controller and SATA support enable reliable data handling and storage subsystem integration.
• Package and thermal suitability: 1292‑ball FCPBGA package and a 0 °C to 105 °C operating range accommodate dense, surface‑mount embedded board designs.
