Intel® IXDP24XX Advanced Development Platforms

Modular Platforms to Accelerate Development of Network Access and Edge Applications Based on the Intel® IXP2400 Network Processor

Choice of Development Platforms Based on Design Requirements: Intel® IXDP2400 Advanced Development Platform A dual-chip implementation ideal for developing access and edge applications spanning full duplex OC-12/1GbE to OC-48/4 GbE line rates, such as an OC-48 DSLAM. Intel® IXDP2401 Advanced Development Platform Standards-based, PICMG 3.0 Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture* (AdvancedTCA*) compliant single chip implementation ideal for designing access and edge applications spanning OC-3 to 2xOC-12/2xGbE line rates, such as a multi-service switch or edge router.

These development platforms can be used in several ways: Developers can write code and run simulations in a Windows* based PC environment using the graphical workbench and the cycle-accurate simulator, and then use the development platform to verify system functionality even before the customer hardware is available. Hardware design engineers can reuse schematic source files included in their board design to jump-start their board development effort. Developers can validate a design using the base card and mezzanine 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. Developers can design a proprietary switch fabric card, and use an interface on the base card to implement a fabric backplane.
