LX2160A Package support

[deepanrajanbara]

Hi,

We are planning to use LX2160A as our network processor.

We wanted to know does the LX2160A software supports DPDK driver package.

Is it possible to integrate our custom application along with L2/L3 stack and run the combined application.

Does it have a existing  backhaul connectivity application.

Please share the link from which we can download and start building our uboot, kernel and application.

Thank you,

By Backhaul application  we mean using the Ethernet interface as a WAN or LAN depending upon the use case.

How to flash the Binary from the PC into the EVK/Custom Board is there any specific tool like mfg tool or uuu like the programming tool for  imx processor.

What are the images need to be programmed at the beginning i.e if a new board need to be programmed. In our case emmc is the boot media. How to program from my PC to the Board(LX2160A)

Also let us know, Where the cross-compiler will be located for LX2160A

[ufedor]

NXP CodeWarrior IDE can be used in all mentioned use cases.

The CW Flash Programmer is used to program ob-board flash memories.

In case if needed to compile the application in command line where can i get the cross compiler. Since am not able to find any cross-compiler when i downloaded the flex-builder the NXP

[ufedor]

After installing LSDK, the cross compiler is deployed in /usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc.

Have you read the Layerscape Software Development Kit User Guide concerning the DPDK example application?

Which exactly functionality you intend to implement in the "backhaul application"?
