LX2-Lite System on Module
8/12/16 x Arm Cortex-A72, up to 2GHz
- Up to 100GbE
- Up to 16GB DDR2 with ECC
- Ideal for space constrained designs at only 58 x 48 mm
SolidRun’s LX2-Lite System-on-Module is a high-performance and flexible platform intended to support dense and compact appliance designs at the network’s edge. Our ultra-compact SOM packs the power of an NXP LX2162A processor, boasting up to 16 Cortex A72 cores running at 2GHz and can be equipped with up to 16GB DDR2. As with all SolidRun SOMs, the LX2-Lite SOM packs onboard memory, eMMC storage, and power management in a compact form factor.
At just 58mm x 48mm, this is the smallest 16-core SOM platform in the world.
Typical applications for the LX2-Lite SOM include 5G base stations and packet processing, high-performance CPEs, storage controller, network security, and data routing. NXP’s LX2162A SoC is manufactured using a 16nm FinFET production process that allows for a reduced thermal footprint and optimized power/performance numbers to allow fanless designs.
LX2-Lite SOM is only 58 x 48mm, which is only 25% of the equivalent COM Express type 7 LX2160A to allow for the smallest and most compact product designs.
Boasting 12 SERDES lanes, this SOM supports up to four 25Gbit/s ethernet connections (up to 100GbE), up to eight PCIe Gen 3 connections, as well as several combinations of the two for incredible application flexibility.
Packing 16 Arm(r) v8 Cortex A72 cores and supporting up to 32GB of DDR4, the mighty Layerscape LX2162A processor delivers server-grade data processing performance!
An excellent foundation for software-defined network hardware and Smart NICs capable of accelerating network functions, the LX2-Lite SOM can power an array of network- and edge-appliance applications.
To simplify development and deployment for our customers, SolidRun software R&D teams will provide:
– Optimized BSP.
– Stable long-term support for select distributions.
– Ongoing contributions to mainline projects and community initiatives.
All of our public source code is available at our GitHub page.
SolidRun Developer Center is a knowledgebase platform that contains hundreds of articles covering topics like getting started, product documentation and reference designs, in-depth software articles, software development guidelines and much more. New articles are added on a weekly basis by our hardware and software engineers.
