1 Introduction

The QorIQ T4240 reference system (T4240RDB) is a flexible
system that supports the 24-virtual core T4240 processor. The
T4240RDB main board is mounted in a 1U rack-mounted
chassis. The T4240RDB supports clocking configuration
flexibility to change the device frequency. Two expansion
slots are also provided for adding standard PCIe cards. The
T4240RDB comes with a Linux® board support package
(BSP) that provides a comprehensive starting point for Linux
development efforts.
The part number of the T4240 reference design board (RDB)
system is T4240RDB-16GPA (for a board based upon T4240
Rev 1.0 silicon) and T4240RDB-PB (for a board based upon
T4240 Rev 2.0 silicon).
After reading this document, you will be familiar with:
• Board configuration settings (frequency, boot location,
and, T4240 or T4160 personality selection).
• How to get started and boot uboot and Linux.
