QorIQ LS2 Processor Family QorIQ LS2085A Reference Design Board 1U form-factor tool for evaluation and design of value-added networking applications Freescale’s QorIQ LS2085A processor is designed to enable network intelligence and capitalize on the emerging trends of networking virtualization. The processor goes beyond the traditional multicore approach, where performance is directly proportional to the number of cores instantiated. Instead, the LS2085A processor adds an intelligent software-aware packet processor, a versatile Layer 2 switch and a management complex that simplifies programming and that delivers unprecedented efficiency and new virtualized networks. The features and capabilities of the QorIQ LS2085A processor enable designs in enterprise SDN switching and routing, cloud data center switching and wireless cell site routing. With up to eight 64-bit ARM® cores, the processor also enables many control-based applications like control plane functions for branch routers, chassis switches, firewalls and WAN optimization controllers. The QorIQ LS2085A reference design board (LS2085A RDB) provides a comprehensive platform that enables design and evaluation of the product in all its instantiations: with options for configuring an internal 8-port, L2 switch and the powerful and autonomous 40 Gbps advanced packet processor.
