The P2020RDB-PCA is a highly integrated reference design board that can help shorten your time to market. The reference design is aimed at networking, wired and wireless access, industrial and medical applications. This cost-effective board is based on the QorIQ™ P2020E processor family, along with leading-edge external components to help you quickly design and implement your target application.

The P2020RDB-PCA leverages the P2020E processor and supports both the dualcore P2020E and single-core P2010E configurations. The P2020E processor family is based on the e500 core, built on Power Architecture® technology, which has a core frequency range of 800–1200 MHz, and supports a 32 KB instruction and L1 data cache and a shared 512 KB frontside cache.

The P2020E also supports three Gigabit Ethernet controllers with IEEE® 1588 v2 support, USB 2.0, up to three PCI Express® 1.0a controllers, up to two Serial RapidIO® controllers, up to two SGMII SerDes Interfaces, 32-/64-bit DDR2/3 with ECC, SPI controller supporting booting from SPI serial flash memory, SD/MMC card controller supporting booting from flash cards and an integrated security engine. The new P2020E family, built in 45 nm process technology, provides high integration that simplifies board design and offers a cost-effective solution.

Since the P2020E family is pin-compatible with the P1020E family, the P2020RDB-PCA can also be used as a development vehicle for the P1020E family.Along with the hardware support, the P2020RDB-PCA comes with a board support package (BSP) that includes both U-boot and Linux® 2.6 operating system support.
