Alpine is a family of Platform-on-Chip devices, including + multi-core 32-bit (first-gen Alpine) and 64-bit (Alpine V2) ARM + CPUs, developed by Annapurna Labs.

+ +

The primary focus areas of the Alpine platform are + high-performance networking, storage and embedded applications. The + network subsystem features 10-, 25-, and 50-Gbit Ethernet + controllers with support for virtualization, load-balancing, + hardware offload and other advanced features.

+ +

A basic patch set has already been committed to HEAD including:

+ +
    +
  • PCIe Root Complex support
    • + +
  • Cache Coherency Unit driver
    • + +
  • North Bridge Service driver
    • + +
  • Updated Alpine HAL
    • + +
  • Extended MSI support in GICv2 and GICv3 code
    • +
+ +

Additional work, such as an MSI-X driver and full Ethernet + support, is currently undergoing community review on Phabricator.

+ +

The multi-user SMP system is stable and fully working, along with + the 1G and 10G Ethernet links.

+ +

The interrupt management code has been adjusted to work with the + new INTRNG framework on both ARM32 and ARM64.
