AppliedMicro Confidential and Proprietary

Product Overview

The AppliedMicro X-Gene X-C1 evaluation kit

provides users with a comprehensive set of

resources to evaluate the APM883208-X1

processor as well as to start system development.

The X-Gene X-C1 evaluation board, incorporating

the industry standard Linux operating system and

U-Boot firmware, is an optimized, low-cost platform

designed specifically for evaluation purposes.

Schematics and layout files for the board are

available so that customers can start their designs

from a proven baseline.

Likewise, the Linux code and U-Boot firmware

source are available to accelerate customers'

software development. The kit includes advanced

software development tools to assist customers in

selecting the most appropriate development and

run-time environments.

X-Gene X-C1 Board

The X-Gene X-C1 board, with a 170mm (L) x

170mm (W) Mini-ITX form factor, is a custom-

designed platform developed by AppliedMicro for

evaluating the APM883208-X1 processor:

APM883208-X1 processor, but also as the starting

point for their own product designs. To facilitate

this, the complete hardware/software design is

available to customers from AppliedMicro:

•Linux code (source and binary) for the

X-Gene X-C1 board

•U-Boot firmware (source and binary) for the

X-Gene X-C1 board

•Linux development tools used to develop the

X-Gene X-C1 code

•Schematics and layout files for the X-Gene X-C1

board

•Sample application code

Development Tools & Operating

Systems

The X-Gene X-C1 evaluation board is provided

with Open Source Linux and U-Boot boot loader.

Eight-core Linux SMP for the eight X-Gene

processors and four-core Linux SMP for the four

MSLIM processors.

Through the AppliedMicro Partners program, many

other companies provide operating systems and

development tools that support the AppliedMicro

processor.
