SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE:CY) today announced that it will support the new development platforms for Intel network processors based on the PICMG 3.x ATCA standard. Intel's latest development environment includes new development platforms and enhanced software applications and services for the Intel IXP2800, IXP2850 and IXP2400 network processors. By designing its Ayama 20000 network search engine (NSE) to gluelessly connect to the Intel IXDP2801, IXDP2851 and IXDP2401 development platforms, Cypress has ensured interoperability not only with Intel network processors but also with the LA-1 standard from the Network Processor Forum.Cypress will provide a complete software development kit (SDK) and hardware platform, which functions seamlessly with the Intel IXP2400, IXP2800 and IXP2850 network processors and supports the Intel IXA Software Development Kit Release 3.1. The SDK will include a foreign-object model (FOM) for cycle-accurate simulation, NSE drivers, and application-program interfaces (APIs) for the Ayama 20000 NSE. In addition, Cypress's SDK will include a complete suite of control-plane APIs and data-plane macros that include initialization and diagnostic code. The hardware platform will consist of the development board and software that seamlessly operates with Intel's new platforms. In a separate release:SAN JOSE, Calif. -- IDT (Integrated Device Technology, Inc.; Nasdaq: IDTI), a leading communications IC company and leading provider of network search engines (NSEs), today extended its portfolio of comprehensive NSE solutions with the introduction of its 75KTA162134 development board designed to work seamlessly with the newest development platforms for Intel network processors. The development board features the IDT 75K62134 NSE with an integrated Look-Aside (LA-1) interface and connects glue-lessly to the Intel IXDP2401, IXDP2801 and IXDP2851 network processor development platforms that support the Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture(AdvancedTCA) specification. The new IDT development board will be featured at the Intel Developer Forum, San Jose, Calif., booth #309. IDT is an Associate Member with the Intel Communications Alliance, a community of communications and embedded developers and solutions providers.IDT provides the broadest and deepest portfolio of NSE solutions for the Intel network processor development environment, including the industry¹s first 256Kx36 NSE with an integrated LA-1 interface and comprehensive hardware and software development tools. Designers can begin development early in the design cycle through the use of the IDT system-level architecture model (SLAM), a cycle- and data-accurate simulation model that allows for system optimization leading to reduced development costs and faster time to market. They also have access to a complete library of control plane and data plane software that includes the initialization, management and searching (IMS) code, diagnostic code, data plane macros and application code, which results in an improvement in system performance and accelerated application software development/debug through full speed 200 MHz hardware execution.In a separate release:SAN JOSE, Calif. -- NetLogic Microsystems, Inc., the leader in packet classification and forwarding solutions for networking and communications, today announced support for the enhanced development environment for Intel IXP2400, IXP2800 and IXP2850 network processors.NetLogic is providing a second generation Integrated Development Environment (IDE) consisting of a comprehensive software package and evaluation card. The evaluation card, the NSE5512EGLQ-EVB, is designed to plug directly into the new Intel IXDP2401, IXDP2801 and IXP2851 Advanced Development Platforms that are based on the PICMG 3.x AdvancedTCA standard. (ATCA). The NetLogic second generation evaluation card is backward compatible with Intel's first generation development system, the IXDP2400 platform.The recently announced NetLogic family of products, the "GLQ" family, has two integrated LA-1 interfaces to enable the sharing of a single Network Search Engine between two network processors. The LA-1 interface, which was defined by the Network Processor Forum, allows for glue-less interface to any LA-1 compatible solution, including industry leading network processors from Intel.In a separate release:SAN JOSE, Calif. -- SiberCore Technologies, a leader in providing silicon-based packet management solutions today announced availability of its ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) classification and forwarding modular plug-in card for the Intel IXDP2401, IXDP2801, and IXDP2851 advanced development platforms based on the PICMG 3.x AdvancedTCA (ATCA) standard, which were announced today at the Intel Developer Forum in San Jose, CA. The SCTB2009 modular card, software development kit (SDK), and Feature Pack reference software provides customers with a complete solution that simplifies design, improves performance, and enhances reuse in OC-12, OC-48 and OC-192 equipment such as metro, edge and core routers and Gigabit Ethernet Enterprise LAN switches.The SCTB2009 modular card showcases the SiberCore SiberNPA solution which includes the latest SiberCAM Ultra-9M TCAM (SCT9022), providing 9Mb of table storage capacity, the SiberGateway, a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with unique programming capabilities, and 16Mb of associated and indirection data SRAM for context data storage. The card is supplied with SiberCore's SDK, which includes a cycle-accurate Foreign Object Model (FOM) for the Intel IXA Software Development Kit (Intel IXA SDK 3.1), as well as simulation software and graphical system analysis tools for bus efficiency and power consumption. The SCTB2009 modular card plugs directly onto both the Intel IXDP2401 and IXDP2801 baseboard through the QDR SRAM/Network Processing Forum LA-1 interface. The SCTB2009 is also backwards compatible and will plug directly onto the current Intel IXDP2400 development platform.Cypress Semiconductor Corp.
