With integrated DDR4 memory controllers, broad Ethernet and high-speed peripheral support, and industrial qualification and security features, this device targets demanding networking, storage and I/O‑intensive embedded systems.

Key Features

• CPU Core — Eight ARM® Cortex®-A72 64-bit cores capable of operating up to 2.1 GHz for high-performance multi-threaded workloads.
• Memory Subsystem — Two 64-bit DDR4 SDRAM controllers with ECC and interleaving support; platform cache with ECC protection and memory interface speeds up to 2.1 GT/s as specified in the datasheet.
• Datapath Acceleration (DPAA2) — Integrated DPAA2 with wire-rate IO processor (WRIOP) for packet parsing/classification, queue and buffer management (QBMan), cryptography acceleration (SEC 5.2), RegEx pattern matching (PME 2.0) and compression/decompression (DCE 1.0) to offload data‑plane tasks.
• High‑Speed SerDes and PCIe — Sixteen SerDes lanes up to 10.3125 GHz and four PCIe 3.0 controllers (one PCIe controller supports x8/x4/x2/x1 and SR-IOV; the others support x4/x2/x1), enabling flexible high-bandwidth I/O expansion.
• Ethernet and Networking I/O — Support for up to eight 10 GbE MACs and up to sixteen 1/2.5 GbE MACs, providing extensive native Ethernet connectivity for network appliances and communications equipment.
• Storage and USB — Two SATA 3.0 (6 Gbps) controllers and two USB 3.0 controllers with integrated PHY for high-speed local storage and peripheral connectivity.
• System and Peripheral Interfaces — Integrated flash controller (IFC 2.0) for NAND/NOR, SPI/QSPI, four I2C controllers, two DUARTs and enhanced SD host support for a broad range of peripherals and boot options.
• Security and System Management — Secure boot and ARM TrustZone® support plus a service processor (SP) for pre‑boot initialization and secure-boot capabilities; support for hardware virtualization and partitioning enforcement.
• Package and Operating Range — 1292‑ball FCPBGA package (37.5 × 37.5 mm) with surface-mount mounting and industrial qualification; specified operating temperature −40 °C to 105 °C.
• Power and DMA — Integrated qDMA engine and platform power management features documented in the datasheet to support efficient data movement and system partitioning.

Typical Applications

• Network Appliances — Platform-level packet parsing, classification and hardware queue management accelerate routing, firewall and packet-forwarding functions.
• Telecommunications Infrastructure — Multiple 10 GbE and 2.5 GbE MACs plus DPAA2 crypto and pattern-matching engines support high-throughput telco and edge networking workloads.
• Storage and Server Edge Platforms — SATA 6 Gbps controllers, USB 3.0 with PHY and high-speed PCIe enable local storage and expansion for edge servers and storage controllers.
• Secure Embedded Systems — Secure Boot, TrustZone® and on-chip security accelerators provide hardware-enforced boot and cryptographic processing for secure embedded deployments.

Unique Advantages

• Multi‑core Performance with 64‑bit Architecture: Eight Cortex‑A72 cores at up to 2.1 GHz deliver scalable compute for multi-threaded embedded workloads.
• Integrated Datapath Acceleration: DPAA2 offloads packet parsing, queue management, crypto and compression tasks to improve overall system throughput and free CPU cycles for application tasks.
• Extensive Native I/O: A wide set of integrated interfaces—10 GbE/2.5 GbE, SATA, USB 3.0, PCIe and multiple serial buses—reduces external bridging and simplifies board design.
• Memory Reliability: Dual DDR4 controllers with ECC and platform cache with ECC protection provide data integrity for memory‑sensitive applications.
• Industrial Qualification and Wide Temperature Range: Industrial qualification and an operating range of −40 °C to 105 °C support deployment in demanding embedded environments.
• Hardware Partitioning and Virtualization: Built-in support for hardware virtualization and partitioning enforcement enables secure multi-tenant and partitioned system designs.
