Introduction
1.1
Features
The ATCA-F125 is a hub board as defined in
PICMG 3.0 Revision 3.0 Advanced TCA Base
Specification
and
PICMG 3.1 Revision 1.0 Specification Ethernet/Fiber Channel for
AdvancedTCA Systems
. It supports several Base and Fabric Channel Ethernet interfaces
to the Zone 2 backplane. It also supports 1Gb and 10Gb Ethernet uplinks to the front panel
and to a Rear Transition Module (RTM) through the Zone 3 connector.
Broadcom Ethernet switches and PHYs are used for the base and fabric channels. The
entire board is managed by an NXP P2020 QorIQ Integrated Processor.
The ATCA-F125 has several optional features including a processor AMC, local storage
and Telecom clocking.
See the list below for some of the key features of the ATCA-F125:
Single slot ATCA form factor (280mm x 322mm)
NXP P2020 QorIQ Integrated Processor for the on board service processor
functions
Two DDR3 memory DIMM slots each of which can support up to 2GB of DDR3
SDRAM with ECC
2GB default configuration
2GB embedded USB Flash module for User Flash memory
On-board SATA connector for an optional drive with selectable interface to either
the service processor or the processor AMC
Real time clock
RJ-45 UART Console interface to service processor on front panel
RJ-45 10/100/1000 BaseTx Ethernet Management port on the front panel for
P2020 QorIQ Integrated Processor
Single USB port on front panel for P2020 processor
Broadcom BCM56334 managed switch device for the Base Channel to provide 24
ports of Gigabit Ethernet and four 10G XAUI ports with two 10G uplink channels on
the front panel
Broadcom BCM56820 managed switch device for the Fabric Channel to provide 24
10G XAUI ports and four 1G SGMII ports with two 10G uplink channels on the front
panel
Multiple 1GbE SGMII and 10 GbE XAUI ports routed to Zone 3 connectors for base
and fabric uplink channels on RTM
