Intel® IXDP2351 Advanced Development Platform

Modular AdvancedTCA* Platform to Accelerate Development of Network Access and Edge Applications Based on the Intel® IXP2350 Network Processor.

The Intel® IXDP2351 Advanced Development Platform enhances the value of the Intel® IXP2350 network processor by providing a robust environment that can dramatically accelerate the development and validation of new products designed for T1/E1/J1 to OC-12 line rates. The development platform may be used in several ways.

Developers can write code and run simulation in a Windows*-based PC environment using the graphical workbench and the cycle-accurate simulator, and then verify system functionality even before the target hardware is available.

Hardware design engineers can use schematic source files and other design documents, such as design guides and mechanical drawings included in the web-based Intel® Internet Exchange Architecture (Intel® IXA) Hardware Development Kit to jump-start board development.

Developers can validate a design using the base card, network processor module, 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.

With the IXDP2351 platform, developers can add extra AdvancedTCA* boards from Intel as well as third parties to prototype more complete systems.

Developers can support a variety of AdvancedTCA fabric interfaces through a defined fabric interface mezzanine.
