QorIQ P5020 and P5010
communications processors
P Series
QorIQ Communications Platforms
Overview
The QorIQ P5 family delivers scalable 64-bit
processing with single-, dual- and quad-core
devices. With frequencies scaling up to
2.0 GHz, a tightly coupled cache hierarchy
for low latency and integrated hardware
acceleration, the P5020 (dual-core) and
P5010 (single-core) devices are ideally suited
for compute intensive, power-conscious
control plane applications.
Target Markets
and Applications
The P5020 is designed for high-performance,
power-constrained control plane applications
and provides an ideal combination of core
performance, integrated accelerators and
advanced I/O required for the following
compute-intensive applications:
• Enterprise equipment: Router, switch,
services
• Data center: Server appliance, SAN
storage controller, iSCSI controller,
FCoE bridging
• Aerospace and defense
• Industrial computing: Single-board
computers, test/measurement, robotics
e5500 Core
The P5020 is based on the 64-bit e5500
Power Architecture® core. The e5500
core uses a seven-stage pipeline for low
latency response to unpredictable code
execution paths, boosting its single-threaded
performance. Key features:
• Supports up to 2 GHz core frequencies
• Tightly coupled low latency cache
hierarchy: 32 KB I/D (L1), 512 KB L2
per core
• Up to 2 MB of shared platform cache (L3)
• 3 DMIPS/MHz per core
• Up to 64 GB of addressable memory space
• Hybrid 32-bit mode to support legacy
software and seamless transition to 64-bit
architecture
Virtualization
The P5020 includes support for hardware-
assisted virtualization. The e5500 core offers
an extra core privilege level (hypervisor).
Virtualization software for the P5 family
includes kernel-based virtual machine (KVM),
Linux® containers, Freescale hypervisor and
commercial virtualization software from Green
Hills® Software and Enea®.
Data Path Acceleration
Architecture (DPAA)
The P5020 integrates QorIQ DPAA, an
innovative multicore infrastructure for
scheduling work to cores (physical and virtual),
hardware accelerators and network interfaces.
The FMAN, a primary element of the DPAA,
parses headers from incoming packets and
classifies and selects data buffers with optional
policing and congestion management. The
FMAN passes its work to the QMAN, which
assigns it to cores or accelerators with a multi-
level scheduling hierarchy. The P5020 also
offers accelerators for cryptography, enhanced
regular expression pattern matching and
RAID5/6 offload.
DPAA Hardware Accelerators
Frame manager (FMAN) 12 Gb/s classify, parse
and distribute
Buffer manager (BMAN) 64 buffer pools
Queue manager (QMAN) Up to 224 queues
Security (SEC) 17 Gb/s: 3 DES, AES
Pattern matching engine
(PME)
10 Gb/s aggregate
RapidIO® manager Supports Type 9 and
Type 11 messaging
RAID5/6 engine Calculates parity for
network attached
storage and direct
attached storage
applications
System Peripherals and
Networking
For networking, the FMAN supports one
10 Gb/s and 5x 1 Gb/s MAC controllers that
connect to PHYs, switches and backplanes
over RGMII, SGMII and XAUI. High-speed
system expansion is supported through four
PCI Express v2.0 controllers that support
a variety of lane widths. Other peripherals
include SATA, SD/MMC, I2C, UART, SPI, NOR/
NAND controller, GPIO and dual 1333 MT/s
DDR3/3L controllers.
