CEx7 LX2160A COM Express module developed in partnership with NXP will be offered as a COM, an SBC and evaluation board - boasting unparalleled performance for high-end network computing applications.

NUREMBERG, Germany, Feb. 25, 2019 — (PRNewswire) —   SolidRun, a leading developer of high-performance and energy-efficient embedded edge computing solutions is today announcing the new CEx7 LX2160A. The new module, built in partnership with NXP, harnesses the outstanding network computing power of NXP's LX2160A 16 core Arm® Cortex®-v8 A72 processor developed on a modular COM Express type 7 standard form factor.

CEx7 LX2160A was designed for high-end network and edge computing applications, including switch management, software defined network, and software based dataplane, server offload, network security solutions, white box switching, eNodeB L2/L3 compute node and network storage solutions.

Based on the advanced 16 core NXP LX2160A Arm® v8 Cortex®-A72 processor, the new COM Express Type 7 module from SolidRun supports up to 2.2GHz CPU clock with high-end networking accelerators and connectivity features. Implemented in low-power 16 FinFET Compact, this powerful 64-bit Arm based platform offers support for 100 Gigabit with up to 16 Ethernet ports, supporting on board 64-bit DDR4 (up to 64GB),with ECC, and DPDK. The module also features 18 lane PCIe gen 4.0 (6 controllers), two SATA ports, two USB 3.0 ports with a total of 24 muxed SERDESs.

"SolidRun's experience in delivering high performance embedded modules is ideal to help customers accelerate their time to market," said Noy Kucuk, Vice President, Product Management NXP. "The CEx7 LX2160A COM module will enable a wide range of applications needing high performance compute, high bandwidth connectivity 100G and low power."

"Our new CEx7 LX2160A COM module is a game changer for edge computing applications," states Rabeeh Khoury, SolidRun's CTO. "The pairing of NXP's powerful 16 core processor with the standard COM Express type 7 form factor platform, introduces a highly modular, flexible, energy-efficient, and powerful edge gateway, tailor made for demanding network edge applications."

To supplement the LX2160A based COM Express module, SolidRun will offer the feature rich ClearFog CX LX2K carrier, providing an optimal flexible development route to cut back on time-to-market and development costs. The new LX2160A based family will join SolidRun's growing embedded and networking solutions, offered to OEMs and developers across the globe for a wide range of applications.
