Just Released: the P2020 QorIQ™ Processor from Freescale

Arrow Electronics and Freescale Semiconductor have joined forces to bring you Freescale’s first commercially available QorIQ™ processor—the P2020. The P2020 integrates system peripherals such as Serial RapidIO®, USB, PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet, and system cost-saving boot options like SD/MMC. These new features help reduce overall BOM costs and save design time by eliminating the need for external device controllers.

The QorIQ P2 platform series, which includes the P2020 and P2010 communications processors, delivers unprecedented performance per watt and per dollar for a wide variety of applications in the networking, telecom, military, and industrial markets. The series delivers dual- and single-core frequencies from 800 MHz to 1.2 GHz.

Supported by Arrow's world-class services, solutions and technical expertise; Freescale’s ready-to-go BSP, software stacks for networking applications and suite of third-party solutions make it easy for you to design for any connectivity application.
