ATCA-9405 Installation and Use (6806800M71G) 21
Introduction
1.1 Overview
The ATCA-9405 is an Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture (AdvancedTCA ® , ATCA ® )
blade based on two Cavium OCTEON II CN6880 Multi-Core MIPS64 Packet Processors and the
dual-core Freescale P2020 Service Processor.
The MIPS64 processor cores can be configured for up to 32-way SMP LINUX support, run
Cavium Simple Executives, and run fast path packet processing software for time critical
applications. The ATCA-9405 supports for up to 162 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) I/O bandwidth and
a redundant 40GbE fabric. It allows the design of compact application systems for the
upcoming new IP data infrastructure.The ATCA-9405 represents a performance and
throughput increase over previous generations.
The dual-core Free scale QorIQ™ P2020 processor is used for basic board setup, general board
management, and Ethernet switch management. The management processor has local mass
storage support for uboot and user code. The boot code for the OCTEON II packet processors
is provided via the management processor. The dual-core processor is used to offload other
blade functions in order to maximize the packet processing capability, including managing
Layer 2 and 3 switching/routing functions on the local Ethernet switch.
This blade is targeted at security and packet-processing applications in the wireless and
transport market segments. These markets include dataplane packet-processor, security co-
processor, video compression, and pattern matching.
The ATCA-9405 complies with the SCOPE recommended profile for central office ATCA
systems, PICMG
® 3.0 ATCA mechanical specifications, E-keying, and Hot Swap.
