QorIQ Communications Platforms
Overview
The QorIQ T1 family of communications
processors combines up to four 64-bit cores,
built on Power Architecture® technology, with
high-performance Data Path Acceleration
Architecture (DPAA) and network peripheral
bus interfaces required for networking and
telecommunications. This scalable, pin-
compatible family also features the industry’s
first 64-bit embedded processor with an
integrated Gigabit Ethernet switch, the T1040
(and dual-core T1020), which simplifies
hardware design, reduces power and overall
system cost.
Target Markets
and Applications
The T1 family is ideally suited for use in
mixed control and data plane applications
such as fixed routers, switches, Internet
access devices, firewall and other packet
filtering applications, as well as general-
purpose embedded computing. Its high level
of integration offers significant performance
benefits and greatly helps to simplify board
design.
• Enterprise equipment: Fixed routers,
Ethernet switches, UTM equipment
• Service provider: Edge routers,
mobile backhaul
• Aerospace, defense and government:
Ruggedized network appliances
• Industrial computing: Single board
computers, factory automation,
smart grid
e5500 Core
The T1 family is based on the 64-bit e5500
Power Architecture core, which uses a seven-
stage pipeline for low latency response to
unpredictable code execution paths, boosting
single-threaded performance.
e5500 Core Features
• Supports up to 1.4 GHz core frequencies
• Tightly coupled low latency cache hierarchy
• 32 KB I/D (L1), 256 KB L2 per core
• Up to 256 KB of shared platform cache (L3)
• 3.0 DMIPS/MHz per core
• Up to 64 GB of addressable
memory space
• Hybrid 32-bit mode to support legacy
software and seamless transition to
64-bit architecture
Virtualization
The T1 family includes support for hardware-
assisted virtualization. The e5500 core offers
an extra core privilege level (hypervisor).
Virtualization software for the T1 family includes
kernel-based virtual machine (KVM), Linux®
OS containers, Freescale hypervisor and
commercial virtualization software from Green
Hills® Software and Enea®.
Data Path Acceleration
Architecture (DPAA)
The T1 family integrates the QorIQ DPAA,
an innovative multicore infrastructure for
scheduling work to cores (physical and virtual),
hardware accelerators and network interfaces.
The FMAN, a primary element of the DPAA,
parses headers from incoming packets, then
classifies and selects data buffers with optional
policing and congestion management. The
FMAN passes its work to the QMAN which
assigns it to cores or accelerators with a
multilevel scheduling hierarchy.
Gigabit Ethernet Switch
The T1040 and T1020 processors include
an integrated gigabit Ethernet switch that
supports wire-speed switching for all packet
sizes. Other features include VLAN, QoS
processing and ACLs.
DPAA Hardware Accelerators
Frame manager (FMAN) 13 Gb/s classify, parse
and distribute
Buffer manager (BMAN) 64 buffer pools
Queue manager (QMAN) Up to 224 queues
Security (SEC) 5 Gb/s: 3DES, AES
System Peripherals and Networking
For networking, the FMAN supports up to five
1 Gb/s MAC controllers that connect to PHYs,
switches and backplanes over RGMII and SGMII.
The T1040 and T1020 processors also include an
integrated 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switch, which
supports QSGMII or SGMII interfaces. High-speed
system expansion is supported through three PCI
Express® V2.0 controllers that support a variety
of lane widths. Other peripherals include SATA,
SD/MMC, I2C, UART, SPI, NOR/NAND controller,
GPIO and a 1600 MT/s DDR3L/4 controller.
