Application Brief
The P5020, P3041, P2040 and P2041 all
support Serial RapidIO (V1.3 + 2.1) for higher
P2040/P2041, P3041 Key Features and Benefits
bandwidth and a message manager to support
Type 9 (data streaming) and improved Type
11 (messaging) transactions. The P5 and P3
families and the P204x support integrated
serial advanced technology attachment (SATA)
2.0, PCI-E Gen 2 controllers, 10 Gigabit
Ethernet, 1 Gigabit Ethernet with support
for 1.0 and 2.5 Gb/s SGMII and two USB
2.0 with integrated PHYs to provide a highly
integrated, high-performance processor ideal
for networking, industrial and data center
applications.
The QorIQ P2041 and P2040 processors are
similar to the P3041 but have a lower cost,
power, performance and functionality. These
devices are pin compatible.

Dual SATA
Benefits
? Supports flexible allocation of resources to control and data
plane, with hypervisor enabling robust AMP implementation
? Up to 1.5 GHz cores enable high-performance control plane
? DPAA offloads CPU for upper layer functions
? Key to establishing a trusted secure system
? Prevents unauthorized code from being run on a system
? Key to clone prevention
? Many options for multiplexing across PCIe, SGMII, 2.5 Gb/s
SGMII, XAUI, SRIO, SATA
? Supporting up to 5 GHz for high control and data throughput
? RapidIO ? message manager (RMan) allows packets (Type 9 and
11) to plug directly into DPAA for greater CPU offload
? Board cost savings by integrating high-capacity disk storage
interface
The DPAA is common across this product
line, as well as some members of the P1
family (such as the P1023 and P1027). As a
result, products in all five levels of the QorIQ
family are software compatible, enabling easy
migration across a range of applications,
scaling from consumer pizza boxes to core
