Broadcom BCM958401M2

Overview

The Broadcom BCM958401M2 board utilizes the Valkyrie BCM58400 SoC to provide support for PCIe offload engine functionality.

Hardware

The BCM958401M2 is a PCIe card with the following physical features:

PCIe Gen3 interface
RS232 UART (optionally populated)
JTAG (optionally populated)

Supported Features

The Broadcom BCM958401M2 board configuration supports the following hardware features:

Interface	Controller	Driver/Component
NVIC	on-chip	nested vectored interrupt controller
UART	on-chip	serial port

Other hardware features are not supported by the Zephyr kernel.

The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file:

boards/arm/bcm958401m2/bcm958401m2_defconfig

Connections and IOs

Programming and Debugging

Flashing

The flash on board is not supported by Zephyr at this time. Board is booted over PCIe interface.

Debugging

The bcm958401m2 board includes pads for soldering a JTAG connector. Zephyr applications running on the M7 core can also be tested by observing UART console output.
