LX2160A Family

Based on NXP’s Layerscape LX2160A. The platform has 16 Arm Cortex A72's, SODIMM Slots, SATA, USB3, PCIe, and 10/40/100G networking.

For the most part, the machine behaves like a standard SystemReady machine with UEFI+ACPI. The normal Fedora install and administration guides should be used. Yet, some of the machines ship without UEFI installed, and the high-speed (DPAA2) networking requires some additional nonstandard configuration.

Kernel features status and overview

Brief overview of the kernel status

Bootloader/firmware status and overview

The system should be provisioned with a recent UEFI firmware image from https://images.solid-run.com/LX2k/lx2160a_uefi Choose the correct firmware based on whether it will be flashed to the SPI or SD and matches the installed RAM speed.

The solidrun pages have details on how to assure the correct firmware is installed, but for SD the process is approximatly:

  • Download the image
  • decompress it with xzdec,
  • dd it to a raw sd card like: dd if=lx2160acex7_2200_700_2400_8_5_2.img of=/dev/sdX where sdX is the SD card.
  • Plug the SD card into the board.
  • Make sure firmware boot source switches are set off-ON-ON-ON-ON-off.
