Intel
Intel offers a broad range of software and tools to enable efficient
development of applications for the IXP2805 and IXP2855
network processors. By using these tools and services, a design
team can achieve an unparalleled time-to-market advantage.
Intel
Tools provided by the Intel IXA SDK enable hardware and
software development to proceed in parallel. The tools
provide an easy-to-use graphical development and simulation
environment for developing, debugging, and optimizing a
network application at the same time that a hardware team
is working on device design and prototyping. The tools also
include a compiler tool chain that simplifies development
of high-performance and easy-to-maintain networking
applications using C programming techniques. This can
result in shorter time-to-market and higher return on
investment. For more information on the Intel IXA SDK,

Benefits
Wide choice of optional I/O, control processor, QDR-II and TCAM mezzanine cards
for flexible configurations that enable rapid prototyping of an entire application
Option to add up to two I/O mezzanine cards or build custom mezzanine cards
to meet specific processing requirements
Option to add off-the-shelf PMC modules such as an adjunct processor for
control plane processing
Option to connect to different backplane fabric (e.g., Ethernet, PCI Express*/
Advanced Switching) and/or use full-mesh, dual-star, or dual-dual-star topology
Range of ports assists debug and development for software/firmware
on the network processor and associated peripherals
Provides detailed and thorough testing of all the hardware components on
the platform, including tests for network processor, memory, I/O interfaces,
backplane, and media

Intel
The Intel IXA Software Framework, along with software
building blocks (individual microblocks for standards-based
protocols such as ATM, IPv4, IPv6, MPLS, etc.), includes
infrastructure software and defines the programming model
to create reusable software building blocks. These building
blocks are example implementations of commonly used
protocols that allow developers to use, extend, or modify
these implementations to suit their target markets.
Intel
and Custom Solutions
Example designs demonstrate advanced silicon features and
methods of programming and assembling microblocks into
applications on Intel hardware. They also provide performance
benchmarks for those applications. Application kits are
complete data plane applications ready to be “plugged-in” to
developers’ products and integrated with their control plane,
management, and proprietary software. Intel can also extend
or modify the application kits to meet the unique needs of
developers, port to unique hardware, or perform the
“plugging-in” to developers’ existing software. For more
information on custom solutions, visit the Intel
Support and Software Services Web at www.intel.com/go/css.
