NXP P2020DS Development Platform Design Workbook
Design workbook for the P2020DS evaluation platform, featuring the Freescale P2020 Power Architecture processor in an ATX form-factor for high-performance computing development.
Overview
This design workbook details the P2020DS development board, a platform designed for evaluating the dual-core Freescale P2020 Power Architecture processor. The board follows the ATX form-factor and supports dual e500v2 cores operating at up to 1.2GHz. Key architectural features include a DDR3 memory controller supporting up to 4GB, triple-speed Ethernet via Vitesse VSC8244 PHYs, and a high-speed SERDES interface for PCI Express, SGMII, and Serial RapidIO. The design incorporates an NVidia M1575 South Bridge for SATA, PATA, and AC97 audio support. Power management is implemented through ZilkerLabs and Texas Instruments regulators, while system logic and reset sequencing are managed by an Actel FPGA.
Use Cases
- Hardware evaluation of P2020 dual-core processors
- Software development for Power Architecture platforms
- Prototyping for 2U rack-mount or standard ATX chassis systems
- Embedded networking and storage application development
- Testing high-speed serial interfaces like PCIe and Serial RapidIO
