T4240 QDS Quick Start Guide
The QorIQ T4240 development system (T4240
QDS-16GPA) is a flexible system that supports the
24-virtual core T4240 processor. The T4240 QDS main
board is mounted in a 4U rack-mounted chassis and the main
PCB is a custom form factor.
An additional layer of flexibility for system clocking, power
distribution, and I/O multiplexing is built into the T4240
QDS. Eight expansion slots are provided for adding standard
PCIe cards or Freescale specialized SerDes riser cards (XFI
or XAUI networking). The T4240 QDS comes with a
Linux® board support package (BSP) that provides a
comprehensive starting point for Linux development efforts.
The T4240 QDS is available in two form factors:
• T4240 QDS board installed in a chassis
• T4240 QDS board as a stand-alone system
When you finish reading this document, you should be
familiar with:
• T4240 QDS hardware kit contents
• Board configuration settings
• How to get started and boot the board
