Artificial Intelligent At The Edge
Does it support target row refresh (TRR) or alternate Rowhammer mitigations?
Is the SoC user-upgradable?
There is a disparity between https://solid-run.com/nxp-lx2160a-family/honeycomb-workstation/ and the early access specs PDF with regards to remote management in the early access version. Is it available?
Hi Valentin,
The LX2160 SoC is not user upgradable. The SoC is soldered to the COM Express board.
Remote management is available via a micro-USB connector. The remote management unit is planned to support direct LX2160 console access, board power on/off, bootloader SPI flash programming, and power level sensing.
As for Rowhammer mitigation, we are checking this issue with NXP.
We have managed to close the gap between early access and first production batch, so we’ve taken down the early access specs PDF document.
Hope this answers all your questions.
Jake.
Can I install Debian 10 from USB device?
There is bios or uefi?
Hi Alex,
We are working on mainline support and collaborating with the major distributions to have support included as soon as possible. Debian and Fedora are our initial target architectures and we will provide public repositories and bootstrap images until everything is fully supported upstream.
Also, we will provide both U-Boot with EBBR support and EDK2 for UEFI support.
Jake.
Getting ready to purchase one, but there doesn’t seem to be specific SO-DIMM specifications in the Honeycomb specifications. Can I use the ones I found for the LX2160a I found in the knowledge base? https://developer.solid-run.com/knowledge-base/lx2160a-cex7-tested-memory-so-dimms/
Hi Philip, the dual SO-DIMM DDR4 sits on the LX2160A COM module (CEx7 LX2160A), so all the tested SO-DIMMs are fully compatible with the HoneyComb.
So, as to confirm, no on-board GPU? Do you have any optional PCIe x8 GPU cards?
Hi Marcus,
You are correct, there’s no on-board GPU.
Currently we recommend and are testing the Radeon RX series of cards. Trying to balance the GPU power consumption to match that of the LX2160 we would recommend the RX550 or RX560 but if more ports are required the RX570 will also work.
Additionally there is a new Workstation Grade card from AMD coming out soon that will be a good match:
https://www.amd.com/en/products/professional-graphics/radeon-pro-wx-3200
Nvidia has announced support for their Compute cards on ARM64, but AMD is actively working on their fully OpenSource drivers therefore they are the best match for our platform.
As we progress with testing, we will publish a list of verified cards on our developer site – http://developer.solid-run.com/
Jake.
Ok, thanks. I’m assuming, regardless of the manufacturer of the GPU card, that as long, as the Graphics Co-processor is of the ADM RX series (480, 570, etc.) and the hardware Interface states “PCI Express x8” that there is some degree of compatible. I just happen to noticed upon searching for ADM Radeon RX 550/560, that the hard interfaces varied from PCI Express x8 to x16. Even, the ADM website stated that the GPU specifications and features may vary by OEM configuration.
x16 PCIe cards are also compatible, but will only operate in x8 mode. We use an open backed PCIe x8 slot so the x16 cards will still fit.
Jake.
Just asking, if we ran a AMD Polaris GPU on the board. Does ROCm work? Is OpenCL and HIP working?
Hi Martin,
ROCm is not functional yet. It requires PCIe atomics which are not implemented. We are waiting to hear back from NXP to verify that they are tested by the hardware team.
Jake.
Hi,
Are there any updates regarding to ROCm?
Hi Martin,
The current version of NXP’s LX2160A chip does not support PCIe Atomics therefore at a minimum ROCm would require a GFX9 class Radeon GPU.
Jake.
What kind of cooling is needed for the CPU (module) and do you offer a solution or which one do you recommend?
Hi Jurgen,
We will ship with a heatsink and fan solution. We are currently evaluating other consumer available solutions that can be used including passive and water cooling options.
Jake.
Well, I was wondering, has the product come close to being released into production, as of yet?
Hi Marcus,
The HoneyComb LX2K board is in full production and available for ordering.
Jake.
