AMCC PowerPC 440GX
The LinuxLink software distribution model enables the usage of the AMCC440GX LinuxLink for development targeting all designs based on AMCC440GX processor.
The AMCC PowerPC 440GX processor has been created with networking and storage applications in mind. With embedded state-of-the-art peripheral cores, the 440GX processor is ideal for networking control plane applications, RAID controllers, and storage area networking (SAN) equipment.
Processor derivatives enabled:
The AMCC440GX LinuxLink can also be used as a starting point for Linux development for designs based on the 440GP and 440GPr families of processors.
Reference boards/OEM boards enabled:
The AMCC440GX LinuxLink can also be used as a starting point for Linux development for designs derived from the following:
Notes:
Complete peripheral support for AMCC440GX derived integrated processors, or board support for other reference designs, might need to be sourced from manufacturers of the respective processors or reference boards.
