Hi,
I heard that some 10-Gb Ethenet chip embedded an ARM core. I am curious about what type of ARM (A, M or R) is embedded in such a high speed Ethernet ASIC. I feel that it may be a R series ARM. Is it right? Due to such a high speed data rate, what chip would be, is it A11, or A15?
Thanks,
Hello,
any ARM cores don't include the Ethernet interface because they are pure CPUs.
Some Soc of which CPU cores are Cortex-A15 or Cortex-A57 include 10Gb Ethernet feature.
For example TI's KetStone 66AK2H14 or 66AK2E05, Calxeda's ECX-2000 or Freescale's QorIQ LS2 Family includes it.
Best regards,
Yasuhiko Koumoto.
