Porting commercial-NOS on to Marvell Gen-6 switching ASICs
This case study focuses on porting a commercial Network Operating System (NOS) that is already supported on Marvell Gen-5 switching ASICs to Marvell Gen-6 devices.
The Challenge
This case study focuses on porting a commercial Network Operating System (NOS) that is already supported on Marvell Gen-5 switching ASICs (AC3X, Aldrin, Aldrin2) to Marvell Gen-6 devices (AC5X/P, Aldrin3, Falcon, etc.). The typical deployment of this NOS is for Data Center networking applications.
Key Challenges
1
Porting NOS from Gen-5 to Gen-6 ASICs
2
Supporting new Marvell chipset families
3
Maintaining Data Center deployment capabilities
4
AC5X/P, Aldrin3, Falcon device support
Our Approach
Successfully ported commercial NOS from Marvell Gen-5 to Gen-6 switching ASICs, enabling support for AC5X/P, Aldrin3, Falcon, and other Gen-6 devices for Data Center deployments.
