Roll over image to zoom in

The LX2160A reference design board provides a comprehensive platform that enables design and evaluation of the LX2160A or LX2162A processors. It comes preloaded with a board support package (BSP) based on a standard Linux kernel.

  • 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
  • Delivers unprecedented efficiency and new virtualized networks
  • Supports designs in 5G packet processing, network function virtualization, storage controller, white box switching, network interface cards, and mobile edge computing
  • Supports all six LX2 family members (16-core LX2160A and LX2161A; 12-core LX2120A and LX2122A; and 8-core LX2080A and LX2082A)
  • Certified to the Arm SystemReady ES  standard to ensure interoperability with standard operating systems and hypervisors.
