QorIQ T4240 Development System
Quick Start
The QorIQ T4240 development system (T4240QDS-PB) is
a flexible system that supports the 24 threads. The
T4240QDS 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
T4240QDS board. Eight expansion slots are provided for
adding standard PCIe cards or Freescale specialized SerDes
riser cards (XFI or XAUI networking). The T4240QDS
board comes with a Linux® board support package (BSP)
that provides a comprehensive starting point for Linux
development efforts.
The T4240QDS board is available in two form factors:
•
T4240QDS board installed in a chassis
•
T4240QDS board as a stand-alone system
