Hardware

Данный девайс основан на SoC (Система на кристалле) Gemini™ SL3516 Network Processor фирмы Storm Semiconductor (ныне Cortina Systems)

в SoC входит

• 32-bit 400MIPS Faraday FA526 processor with separate embedded MMU and 8K/16K data/instruction cache - совместим с ARM9 RISC

• две шины AHB с пиковой пропускной способностью 10.6Gbps для wire-speed операций

• аппаратная поддержка NAND flash

• Storm proprietary buffer pre-fetch DDR controller

• Supports 256MByte 16-bit 333MHz (PC2700) of external DDR SDRAM

• поддержка одного Ultra-133 IDE или двух SATA

• аппаратная акселератор XOR RAID (поддержка RAID5)

• два USB2.0 HiSpeed Host или Slave

• два Ethernet MACs (10/100 MII и 10/100/1000 RGMII)

• Layer2/3/4 hardware switching, routing and NAT with 4 transmit queues per port for QoS support

• Layer2-7 packet classification into 16 receive queues

• Transmit acceleration by TCP segmentation, IP fragmentation and TCP/IP/UDP checksum calculation

• Receive acceleration by TCP connection table lookup, assembly of multiple packets belonging to the same TCP connection and TC/IP/UDP checksum verification

• Hardware Security Acceleration Engine performs DES, 3DES, AES, CCMP and RC4 encryption/decryption with CBC or ECB mode operation; authentication with SHA1, MD5, HMAC-SHA1 and HMAC-MD5 hashing algorithm

• Hardware 32-bit true random number generator

• 32-bit PCI 2.2 bus interface up to 66MHz with four master device support

• Intelligent and programmable power management

• Timer, GPIO, UART, Watch Dog Timer

• Embedded Real Time Clock for true server applications

• Integrated OSC/PLL circuits require single 60MHz crystal

• 0.13µm standard CMOS with approximately 1.5W dissipation

• Low cost and small foot print 324-pin FBGA
