products under stringent time-to-market deadlines and deliver products that can be easily upgraded in software. The Intel® IXDP425 Network Processor Development Platform speeds time-to-market by eliminating the need for developers to start their design efforts "from scratch" for each new product based on the Intel IXP425 network processor family. It also allows equipment manufacturers to easily differentiate their products by adding their own intellectual property. The Intel IXP425 network processor family combines the processing capability of an Intel® XScaleTM core with the flexibility and scalability of three Network Processor Engines (NPEs). This highly integrated network processor includes on-chip integration of voice and data functions, support for multiple WAN and LAN technologies, a choice of operating systems and a broad range of Intel XScale development tools. Together with the operating system and tools, the Intel IXDP425 Network Processor Development Platform forms the foundation for a total development environment. This development platform can be used to prototype a wide variety of networking products such as high-end residential gateways, small to medium enterprise (SME) routers, switches, security devices, mini-DSLAMs (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexers), xDSL line cards, wireless access points, industrial control systems and networked printers.

Intel® IXDP425 Network Processor Development Platform
Development Platform Solution
This powerful development platform solution is ideal for developing and verifying the hardware and software used with the Intel IXP425 network processor by providing easy access to the various processor interfaces through independent connectors. The Intel IXDP425 Network Processor Development Platform kit includes a base card and four expansion cards including one ADSL Annex A PHY, two 10/100 Ethernet PHYs and a voltage regulator card. The kit also contains associated software, a user's guide, schematics, a power supply and cables. The base card enables customers to develop their own expansion cards through the connectors on the I/O interfaces of the Intel IXP425 network processor and provides test and debug connectivity via a standard JTAG interface connector. The included ADSL PHY and Ethernet PHY expansion cards enable out-of-the-box construction of an ADSL-Ethernet broadband access device and other networking systems. Features of the base card include:

Two UART (DB-9) connectors One USB connector Four PCI bus connectors One JTAG interface connector
Operating Systems, Tools, Software and Driver Support
The Intel IXDP425 Network Processor Development Platform includes the Wind River VxWorks 5.4 operating system, Tornado 2.1.1 development tools and a BSP. The kit includes a 60-day royalty-free trial license for the operating system and development tools, providing the developer with a convenient "plug and play" experience. The evaluation license can be renewed directly through Wind River Systems. Future releases of this platform are expected to offer support for the Linux* operating system. The Intel IXP425 network processor software release is included in the kit and software updates are available on the Intel Web site. The software release includes a set of application program interfaces (APIs) that allow developers to easily access and use the NPEs and application "codelets" to assess I/O performance and demonstrate the APIs. The software release and the VxWorks BSP also include drivers for all the peripherals on the system and the expansion cards.

Intel® IXDP425 Network Processor Development Platform
Product Brief
Developers can use the platform to evaluate networking applications or to design their own custom value-added products. This platform provides the development tools needed to simulate, write, assemble, optimize, debug and verify software for systems based on the Intel IXP425 network processor family. To help speed time-to-market and reduce development costs, developers also have a wide choice of third-party tools, including compilers, linkers, debuggers and board support packages.
IXP425 network processor from a USB host controller. The JTAG interface connector provides a standard interface to many ICE debug tools. The power supply connector enables development of a customized power supply when needed to support powerhungry I/O devices.
Total Development Environment
New networking solutions require faster and more agile development. The Intel IXDP425 Network Processor Development Platform reduces development costs for networking products, while helping to reduce the total cost of ownership.
Outstanding I/O Flexibility
The modular hardware design of the development platform enables developers to quickly build a solution that meets their application requirements. Developers can use this flexible and extendable platform to conduct rapid initial chip evaluation, chip performance evaluation, product development and prototyping. By using the various connectors on the base card a developer can use the platform to test value-added expansion cards before building a complete board. The Utopia 2 connector supports up to 24 ADSL or G.SHDSL PHYs or one VDSL PHY at 52 Mbps. The four PCI bus slots give developers the flexibility to connect devices such as 802.11 MAC/PHYs, PCMCIA controllers, hard disk drive controllers, graphics controllers, Ethernet MACs, and cable MAC/PHYs. The two HSS connectors allow a high-speed port for direct connection to industry-standard SLIC/CODECS and to T1/E1 framers. The two MII connectors allow direct connection to Ethernet PHYs. Each of these connectors also provides access to the Intel IXP425 network processor Expansion bus, allowing flexible control signaling. The two UART DB-9 serial connectors provide a standard interface for application development and control of devices such as a serial Bluetooth* module. The USB connector allows 12 Mbps access to the Intel
