Smart Networks QorIQ SDN Service Switch Solution

Freescale QorIQ networking devices employ complex packet processing engines, capable of protocol header processing, traffic shaping, prioritization and forwarding without CPU intervention. The offloading capabilities are boosting the performance in traffic forwarding and termination scenarios. Adding also a very large and flexible feature set, the offloading technologies require complex hardware initialization sequences and complex run-time programming techniques.This seminar presents the troubleshooting workflow, the tools and techniques, the counters and other tips that make networking issues investigation easier on both QorIQ eTSEC and DPAA platforms. The main scenarios covered include no connectivity, partial packet loss or performance loss (due to imbalanced CPU processing, kernel upgrades or firmware upgrades).

With the price per bit of hard disk drive storage continuing to fall, large capacity drives are now available at prices accessible to many consumers. This has led to the growth in popularity of “personal cloud” solutions where the drive is attached to the home wired or wireless network and acts as a central store or back-up system for the devices in the home, known as “consumer Network Attached Storage” or cNAS. This session will introduce the QorIQ LS1024A dual-core communication processor and the optimized cNAS solution offered with this device and used in products such as the WD MyCloud and Synology DS414j.

The i.MX 8QuadXPlus Multisensory Enablement Kit (MEK) is a NXP development platform based on Cortex A-35 + Cortex-M4 cores. Built with high-level integration to support graphics, video, image processing, audio, and voice functions, the i.MX 8X processor family is ideal for safety-certifiable and efficient performance requirements. This tutorial shows how to enable the Cortex-M4 using the MCUXpresso SDK package and loading the binary from the network. NOTE: It is also possible to load the Cortex-M4 image from the SCFW using the imx-mkimage utility. Please see next blog posts for this tutorial. Setting up the machine NOTE: This shows the procedure for a Linux environment. For the Windows OS, please see the Getting Started documentation on the SDK package. Install cmake on the host machine: $ sudo apt-get install cmake Download the armgcc toolchain from here :https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/5.0/5-2016-q2-update/+download/gcc-arm-none-eabi-5_4-2016q2-20160622-linux.tar.bz2  and export the location as ARMGCC_DIR: $ export ARMGCC_DIR=<your_path_to_arm_gcc>/gcc-arm-none-eabi-5_4-2016q2/ NOTE: The ARMGCC_DIR variable needs to be exported on the terminal used for compilation. To setup the TFTP server on the host machine, follow the first two sections on this blog post https://imxdev.gitlab.io/tutorial/How_to_boot_Kernel_and_File_System_from_the_network/ (Configuring your Host PC for TFTP and Configuring your Host PC for NFS). Downloading the SDKPermalink Download the MCUXpresso SDK following these steps: Click on “Select Development Board”; Select MEK-MIMX8QX under “Select a Device, Board, or Kit” and click on “Build MCUXpresso SDK” on the right; Select “Host OS” as Linux and “Toolchain/IDE” as GCC ARM Embedded; Add “FreeRTOS” and all the wanted Middleware and hit “Request Build”; Wait for the SDK to build and download the package. Building the image All demos and code examples available on the SDK package are located in the directory <<SDK_dir>>/boards/mekmimx8qx/. This tutorial shows how to build and flash the hello_world demo but similar procedures can be applied for any example (demo, driver, multicore, etc) on the SDK. To build the demo, enter the armgcc folder under the demo directory and make sure that the ARMGCC_DIR variable is set correctly. $ cd ~/SDK_2.3.0_MEK-MIMX8QX/boards/mekmimx8qx/demo_apps/hello_world/armgcc $ export ARMGCC_DIR=<your_path_to_arm_gcc>/gcc-arm-none-eabi-5_4-2016q2/ Run the build_release.sh script to build the code. $ ./build_release.sh NOTE: If needed, give the script execution permission by running chmod +x build_release.sh. This generates the M4 binary (hello_world.bin) under the release folder. Copy this image to the /tftpboot/ directory on the host PC. NOTE: This procedure shows how to build the M4 image that runs on TCM. To run the image from DDR, use the build_ddr_release.sh script to build the binary under the ddr_release folder. Flashing the image Open two serial consoles, one for /dev/ttyUSB0 for Cortex-A35 to boot Linux, and one for /dev/ttyUSB1 for Cortex-M4 to boot the SDK image. On the A35 console, with a SD Card with U-Boot, stop the booting process and enter the following commands to load the M4 binary to TCM: => dhcp => setenv serverip <ip_from_host_pc> => tftp 0x88000000 hello_world.bin => dcache flush => bootaux 0x88000000 Then the M4 core will load the image to the /dev/ttyUSB1 console.

OpenSSL is a very popular crypto toolkit and protocol stack, but it isn’t very good at exploiting modern crypto acceleration, like that found in Freescale’s QorIQ communications platform and C29x crypto coprocessor family. This session describes Freescale’s SEC driver integration with standard OpenSSL and optimizations made for RSA and record layer offload. Included is a performance demo of OpenSSL speed test with and without optimizations and HTTPS connection rate on T4240+C29x illustrating splitting offloads between the T4240’s local security engine and an external C29x.
