Overview

This technical manual provides detailed specifications for the T2080RDB-PC, a high-performance evaluation and development platform based on the NXP T2080 QorIQ Power Architecture processor. The document covers the board's two operating modes: Standalone and PCIe Endpoint. Key architectural features include support for DDR3L memory, 16 SerDes lanes for PCIe 2.0/3.0, 10G XFI optics, and SATA interfaces. It provides a full hardware breakdown including the Intel EPM570G CPLD register map, power management via Analog Devices LTC3882 and Infineon IR3473, and networking through Inphi CS4315 and Realtek RTL8211E-VB PHYs. Additionally, the guide outlines the integrated C29x crypto coprocessor, flash memory configurations (NOR, NAND, and SPI), and peripheral connectivity such as USB 2.0, RS-232, and I2C.

Use Cases

  • High-performance computing evaluation
  • Network security and crypto acceleration development
  • PCIe endpoint device prototyping
  • Data Path Acceleration Architecture (DPAA) testing
  • 10G Ethernet and high-speed SerDes interface design
