Embedded Eco-System is Evolving

Paradigm shift in embedded development

? Traditional: Vertical, platformspecific solutions

- Lengthy time to market

- Sizable development teams

- Limited cross-platform reuse

Traditional ? Multiple Closed Ecosystems

Vendor-specific Deployment

Proprietary NPU, Data-path API

? Emerging: Standard, Open ecosystem

- Focus on application development - first - Development based around software re-use - Hardware specific components abstracted

Vendor BSPs, firmware Complex Data-Path Simple NIC

Software drives product development

Power MIPS ARM x86

Open-Standards ? Common Open Ecosystem

OP-NFV, Open-Stack, ONIE

Linux user-space, DPDK/ODP/VPP

Off-the-shelf Distros

Embedded

Note: while it is possible to run PC-style distros on LS-series platforms, they require additional storage for the file-system ? e.g. SD-card, USB drive. Most NXP reference design boards have this capability, but may not be desirable for customer solutions. In this case, an embedded distro may be more desirable

PC-style

Note: most PC-style distros have a binary application installation mechanism. While most PC-distros now support pre-compiled applications for ARMv8 and x86, support for PowerPC is lacking. Hence PC-style distros are not supported on P/T-series platforms.
