6The B4860QDS is a Freescale reference board that hosts the B4860 SoC
7(and variants).
8
9B4860 Overview
10--------------
11The B4860 QorIQ Qonverge device is a Freescale high-end, multicore SoC based on
12StarCore and Power Architecture® cores. It targets the broadband wireless
13infrastructure and builds upon the proven success of the existing multicore
14DSPs and Power CPUs. It is designed to bolster the rapidly changing and
15expanding wireless markets, such as 3GLTE (FDD and TDD), LTE-Advanced, and UMTS.
16
17The B4860 is a highly-integrated StarCore and Power Architecture processor that
18contains:
19
20* Six fully-programmable StarCore SC3900 FVP subsystems, divided into three
21  clusters-each core runs up to 1.2 GHz, with an architecture highly optimized
22  for wireless base station applications
23* Four dual-thread e6500 Power Architecture processors organized in one
24  cluster-each core runs up to 1.8 GHz
25* Two DDR3/3L controllers for high-speed, industry-standard memory interface
26  each runs at up to 1866.67 MHz
27* MAPLE-B3 hardware acceleration-for forward error correction schemes including
28  Turbo or Viterbi decoding, Turbo encoding and rate matching, MIMO MMSE
29  equalization scheme, matrix operations, CRC insertion and check, DFT/iDFT and
30  FFT/iFFT calculations, PUSCH/PDSCH acceleration, and UMTS chip rate
31  acceleration
32* CoreNet fabric that fully supports coherency using MESI protocol between the
33  e6500 cores, SC3900 FVP cores, memories and external interfaces.
34  CoreNet fabric interconnect runs at 667 MHz and supports coherent and
35  non-coherent out of order transactions with prioritization and bandwidth
36  allocation amongst CoreNet endpoints.
37* Data Path Acceleration Architecture, which includes the following:
38
39     * Frame Manager (FMan), which supports in-line packet parsing and general
40       classification to enable policing and QoS-based packet distribution
41     * Queue Manager (QMan) and Buffer Manager (BMan), which allow offloading
42       of queue management, task management, load distribution, flow ordering,
43       buffer management, and allocation tasks from the cores
44     * Security engine (SEC 5.3)-crypto-acceleration for protocols such as
45       IPsec, SSL, and 802.16
46     * RapidIO manager (RMAN) - Support SRIO types 8, 9, 10, and 11 (inbound
47       and outbound). Supports types 5, 6 (outbound only)
48
49* Large internal cache memory with snooping and stashing capabilities for
50  bandwidth saving and high utilization of processor elements. The 9856-Kbyte
51  internal memory space includes the following:
52
53     * 32 Kbyte L1 ICache per e6500/SC3900 core
54     * 32 Kbyte L1 DCache per e6500/SC3900 core
55     * 2048 Kbyte unified L2 cache for each SC3900 FVP cluster
56     * 2048 Kbyte unified L2 cache for the e6500 cluster
57     * Two 512 Kbyte shared L3 CoreNet platform caches (CPC)
58
59* Sixteen 10-GHz SerDes lanes serving:
60
61     * Two Serial RapidIO interfaces
62     * Each supports up to 4 lanes and a total of up to 8 lanes
63
64* Up to 8-lanes Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) controller for
65  glue-less antenna connection
66* Two 10-Gbit Ethernet controllers (10GEC)
67* Six 1G/2.5-Gbit Ethernet controllers for network communications
68* PCI Express controller
69* Debug (Aurora)
70* Two OCeaN DMAs
71* Various system peripherals
72* 182 32-bit timers
