Intel XScale 80219

The LinuxLink software distribution model enables the usage of the 80219 LinuxLink for development targeting all designs based on Intel 80219 XScale microarchitecture processor. The integrated 133 MHz PCI-X interface achieves up to 1 GB/s throughput, a two-fold increase over 66 MHz PCI. The 80219 is code compatible with the 80200 processor and other Intel XScale technology-based processors simplifying code porting from existing designs.

Processor derivatives enabled:

The Intel 80219 LinuxLink can also be used as a starting point for Linux development for designs based on other 80200 compatible processors.

Reference boards/OEM boards enabled:

The Intel 80219 LinuxLink can also be used as a starting point for Linux development for designs derived from:

Notes:

Complete peripheral support for Intel 80219 derived integrated processors, or board support for other reference designs, might need to be sourced from manufacturers of the respective processors or reference boards.

Boards and Reference Distributions

LinuxLink software for the Intel 80219 has been validated on the EP80219 reference board from Embedded Planet.

The EP80219 is a development board that leverages the Intel 80219 processor. The 80219 runs at 600 MHz and includes a 133 MHz PCI-X option. By integrating all of the features of the Intel Xscale ® Technology device into a production ready embedded development system the EP80219 reduces Time-To-Market and increases product reliability.
