FCQ9	T2081 QorIQ implementation

This course covers NXP QorIQs T2080 & T2081

Objectives This course has the following objectives: Describing the hardware implementation, particularly the boot sequence and the DDR3 controller Understanding the features of the internal interconnect and related units and mechanisms such as PAMU, CPC and stashing Explaining the standard bus interface controllers, PCIe, USB, SATA and MMC-SD Describing the units which are interconnected to other modules, such as clocking, interrupt controller and DMA controller, because the boot program generally has to modify the setting of these units Clarifying the operation of the Datapath Acceleration Architecture that assists the processor core in taking in charge buffer allocation, queue management, frame management and particularly incoming frame classification, pattern searching, and encryption Describing the various debug units and their utilization to fix errors in a multicore / multimaster SoC. A more detailed course description is available on request at training@ac6-training.com This document is necessary to tailor the course to specific customer needs and to define the exact schedule.

Pre-requisites and related courses Experience of a 32-bit processor or DSP is mandatory. Note that the e6500 Power core is covered in a separate course reference FCC4 - e6500 implementation course. The following courses could also be useful: PCIe IC4 - PCI Express 3.0 course Ethernet N1 - Ethernet and switching course USB 2.0 IP2 - USB 2.0 course SATA IS3 - Serial ATA III course
