4.1 Development System Use
For general hardware and/or software development and evaluation purposes, the P4080DS can be used just
like an ordinary desktop computer. In the absence of special hardware or software configuration, the
P4080DS operates identically to a development/evaluation system such as ArgoNavis(8641DS) or other

members the HPC family. This figure shows an example of the P4080DS system in a desktop
configuration.
Figure 3. P4080DS Desktop Configuration
4.2 Rackmount Server Use
For use in a rackmount chassis, the P4080DS requires the following modifications:
• Low-profile heatsink
• Non-socketed board
Otherwise, it is similar to the desktop case.
4.3 Embedded Use
For general embedded hardware and/or software development and evaluation purposes, the P4080DS can
be used just like an ordinary desktop computer. Perpiherals and embedded storage can be connected to the
PromJet superset connector .
The ngPIXIS FPGA is used to provide startup configuration information for DINK, UBOOT or Linux and
other advanced features are used or ignored.
4.4 AVP-Controlled Evaluation
For many test situations, it is desirable to download a test vector program and run the results. The P4080DS
can do this by using a PCI-based control card, such as the DataBlizzard, or a PCI Expres s-based control

5 Architecture
The P4080DS architecture is primarily determined by the P4080 processor, and by the need to provide
“typical,” OS-dependent resources (disk, Ethernet, and so on).

5.1.1 DDR
The P4080 supports DDR2 and DDR3 devices; however, the P4080DS supports only DDR3 , using
industry-standard JEDEC DDR3 2-rank and 4-rank DIMM modules. However, the system is shipped and
supported by software to support UDIMM 2-rank modules for targeted vendors. The type and vendor may
change as memory availability varies. The memory interface includes all the necessary termination and
I/O power, and is routed so as to achieve maximum performance on the memory bus.

This figure shows the general DDR memory architecture per controller.
Note that the P4080DS does not directly support the use of the MECC pins to access internal debug
information, because the P4080DS does not provide the special multiplexer , and thus has a simpler routing
and signal integrity status. On the other hand, the P4080DS does not interfere with this path, so access to
debug information on the MECC pins is possible with the use of a NextWave (or equivalent) DDR logic
analyzer connector and the use of non-ECC DDR modules.
32-bit DDR3 interface mode is supported; from the viewpoint of the P4080DS board, the unused lower
MDQ/MDS/MDM signals are simply inactive.
The DDR3 power supplies the following interface voltages:

Note that the term ‘lane’ is used to describe the minimum number of signals needed to create a
bidirectional communications channel; in the case of PCI Expr ess or Serial RapidIO, a lane consists of two
differential pairs, one for receive and one for transmit, or four in all.

The P4080 supports up to two 10/100/1000baseT triple-speed Ethernet controllers (EC). The P4080DS
uses one of these, which is channel EC2, and is connected to the on-board Vitesse VSC8244 PHY (the
remaining ports are unused) using the RGMII protocol. Alternately, both ECs may be independently
connected to a ULPI USB interface; for the P4080DS, EC1 routes via ULPI to a USB PHY. See
Section 5.1.8, “USB Interface,” for more information.

5.1.5 Local Bus
For the P4080DS, the enhanced local bus controller (eLBC) connects to various Flash devices and the
ngPIXIS FPGA internal register space. The P4080 only supports 16-bit devices, so the eLBC interface is
comparatively simpler than past development sys tems. In particular , a single 16-bit latch/buf fer is used to
both latch the portion of the address that is not already provided by the latched address pins and to buffer
the data. This figure shows an overview of the eLBC.
Figure 9. Local Bus Overview
The P4080 can redirect boot fetches to the eLBC, where it is routed to the device attached to LCS0. To
support greater flexibility , the ngPIXIS can re-route the LCS0 pin to other devices, allowing the P4 080DS
to boot from the following devices:
• NORFlash
• NORFlash with MSB[0:1] address lines XOR’d (virtual bank swapping)

•PromJet
Local bus chip select routing is summarized in this table. The “cfg_lbmap” column is used to rearrange
the internal addresses of NOR Flash devices, based on user configuration options. Simplistically , no matter
what state the switches are in, the end-user toggling the switch results in toggling the halves or quarters of
the NOR Flash and toggling the CS lines of the NAND Flash. If different program images are stored
therein, upon reset, different startup code is executed. NAND Flash is not currently supported on the
system board. The current hardware implementation is not correct, but the future system board re-spin may
incorporate a correct and supported implementation.

The “address toggle” feature mentioned in Table 7 is implemented as multistaged XOR gate in-line with
the most significant addresses of the Flash, as shown in this figure.
Figure 10. Flash Address Toggle
When LBMAP encoded bits A23–A25 of the Flash address are altered (toggled), as shown in Table 7, the
Flash behaves normally or is s wapped around as virtual banks. Thus, the boot bank can be swapped around
to support up to eight boot images with or without RCW.
