Features

GENERAL

The MSP7100 Series Residential Gateway Solutions are a suite of development platforms for carrier-grade triple-play residential gateways. Designed for OEM/ODMs, the RG platforms provide wire-rate routing and bridging, home network QoS, integrated VoIP, 802.11n support, and other advanced gateway capabilities.
This comprehensive solution is built on top of PMC-Sierra's high performance MSP7100 Series SoCs that deliver the throughput and packet processing performance required by advanced triple play residential gateways.
The standard tools and programming environment provided with the kit reduce OEM/ODM time-to-market. The kit's high performance Linuxbased SDK is ready for product integration. As well, since MSP7100 Series processors integrate a standard MIPS32 core, developers can utilize conventional software tools, reducing development time and guaranteeing software re-use across the product line.
As part of PMC-Sierra's family of solutions for the digital home, the MSP7100 Series RG platform is available in variants that support all key WAN technologies including ADSL/ADSL2+1, VDSL22, EPON3 , Ethernet4, GPON5, and GE6. Furthermore, all emerging LAN technologies such as MoCA, HPNA and 802.11n are supported.
The platform's powerful SDK comes with a high performance software stack, standard software development environment and tools, and a voice processing module (VPM).
Included with the kit is complete documentation for board development and software programming.
