Product Overview Equipment designed for network access, edge and core applications requires robust network processing performance to support value-added network services at line rate. While quickly implementing new network services is a primary objective, to be competitive, vendors of network equipment also must
minimize their development time and cost. In order to support these requirements while extending time-in-market for network equipment, network processors need to combine high performance with flexible control of processing resources. The Intel® IXP2400 and Intel® IXP2800 network processors are designed to provide these capabilities. Each implements a fully programmable, parallel processing architecture on a single chip for handling complex algorithms and performing deep packet inspection, traffic management, and forwarding at wire speed. The Intel® IXDP2400 and Intel® IXDP2800 development platforms further enhance the value of Intel IXP2400 and IXP2800 network processors by providing a robust development environment that can dramatically accelerate the development and validation of new products designed for OC-12/1 GbE to OC-192/10 GbE networking applications. The development platforms provide a full suite of tools developers can use to write, assemble, emulate, debug and verify their software. The platforms can also be used to the performance of specific application through the testing and validation of data paths, device and system level functionality, device driver behavior and board support software.

IXDP2400 and IXDP2800 Overview
Advanced development platforms feature a flexible modular architecture including rack-mountable chassis, network processor baseboards, and modular media cards.
Chassis
Product Overview (continued) Using Intel development platforms can help decrease time-to-market and lengthen time-in-market for networking products in several important ways:
s
s
A design engineer can use schematic source files to choose logic and circuitry such as I/O and memory, and "cut and paste" them into a desired configuration. Developers can validate a design using the baseboard and media cards available from Intel, or design and test a custom I/O subsystem using the development platform prior to committing to a full board design. A customer can design a proprietary switch fabric card, and use an interface on the baseboard to implement a fabric backplane.
s
The modular architecture of the development platforms enables developers to easily match network processor characteristics, media options and memory configurations to meet specific product and application requirements. The flexible platform design, combined with a rich development and debug feature set, helps minimize overall development costs. The development platforms comprise one part of a comprehensive development environment that provides network equipment vendors with the tools they need to rapidly and reliably bring new products to market. Each development platform includes a developers kit containing detailed physical and logical characterization of the platform components. In addition to the hardware development platforms, other components of the development environment include the Intel® Inter net Exchange Architecture (Intel® IXA) Software Developers Kit (SDK) 3.0 which provides data-plane tools and software building blocks, simulation profiling and debugging tools, embedded operating system support, value-added libraries and APIs, sample code and example designs.

Chassis The chassis for IXDP2400 and IXDP2800 platforms are identical standard 19-inch rack-mountable 2U enclosures. Each chassis houses a single network processor base card and one modular media card. The chassis contains a universal, 350 watt power supply and cooling fans to enable reliable operation from 0° to 40° C. Baseboards The core of each development platform is its network processor baseboard. The IXDP2400 and IXDP2800 baseboards are designed with either dual IXP2400 or IXP2800 network processors in an ingress/egress configuration. For each network processor, 16MB of Intel® StrataFlash® memory provides the flexibility to boot each network processor independently. The network processors can also be booted through remote host capability. A high-speed bus supports flow control between the two network processors, enabling development of applications spanning full duplex OC-12/1GbE to OC-192/10GbE line speeds. The Intel IXP2400 and IXP2800 are high performance, fully programmable network processors capable of performing the full range of packet/cell classification, traffic shaping and forwarding functions without requiring dedicated co-processors. To facilitate development and testing of applications where additional processing headroom is desirable, each baseboard supports optional ternary content-addressable memory (TCAM) to offload tasks such as table lookups. A standard PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) interface is supported. This standard interface makes it easy for developers to incorporate third party PMC cards for security or other specialized functions. Connections to a switch fabric interface and modular media interface make it possible to emulate system-level packet flow for a wide variety of product implementations.

Flexible Platform Architecture
The Modular Advantage To provide the flexibility needed to meet rapidly evolving network requirements, each development platform consists of three modular components: a chassis, network processor baseboard and a set of optional media cards. W ith these components, developers can configure a platform capable of meeting a wide variety of specific application requirements while reducing design time and effort. The high degree of commonality between the development platforms also enables developers to use related hardware designs as the common foundation for a variety of products. Here are some examples:
s
A developer can write code and run simulations using the cycle-accurate simulator included in the SDK, and then use the hardware platform to verify system functionality.
A switch fabric loopback card is included to facilitate development in the absence of a fabric connection. To speed time to market, both development platforms include the following debug features:
s
In addition to their shared architecture and feature set, the development platforms include the following platform-specific characteristics: The IXDP2400 Advanced Development Platform The IXDP2400 platform supports SPI-3 and Utopia Level 1, 2, 3 media/fabric interfaces. Memory configuration includes:
s
Two UART serial ports for board support package debugging Two 10/100 BaseT Intel® 82559 Ethernet MAC ports Two Applied Microsystems NetROM* connectors to facilitate code development.
s s
Each port supports an individual network processor. In addition, multiple JTAG headers are provided for flexible debug testing and boundary scan. Media Cards
Two ingress channels: one with 4MB QDR-II SRAM, the other with a modular QDR-II interface for an 8MB QDR-II SRAM module (up to 150 MHz/300MT) or a TCAM module (available from third parties) Two egress channels, with a total of 8MB QDR-II SRAM (up to 200MHz/400MT) 512 MB DDR SDRAM at 150MHz/300MT for each network processor

Each development platform provides a choice of modular media cards to address a broad range of LAN and WAN requirements. Configuration options include multi-port aggregation (Quad OC-12, Quad 1GbE, 10x1 GbE) as well as single, high-speed uplinks (OC-48, OC-192/10GbE). Platform-Specific Features The IXDP2400 and IXDP2800 are optimized for product development programs targeted to access/edge and metro/core application environments, respectively.
