that board seems to be dead end, after Marvell bought Cavium looks like they stopped opensource activities around Armada, so for example musdk is not updated for more than a tear. NXP seems to be better choice with lx2160, 16 cores. I have ClearFog CX LX2K which is more expensive version of the board you found as it have 100G and 4x10G ports but same CPU.
Another option is just to use AWS arm instances, probably cheaper and faster if you just want to run tests -- Damjan > On 23 Dec 2019, at 01:35, Paul Vinciguerra <pvi...@vinciconsulting.com> wrote: > > > Have you used it? > > How long does it take to build vpp and run the tests? > >> On Sun, Dec 22, 2019 at 7:23 PM Jim Thompson <j...@netgate.com> wrote: >> https://shop.solid-run.com/product/SRM8040S00D16GE008S00CH/ >> >>>> On Dec 22, 2019, at 2:50 PM, Paul Vinciguerra <pvi...@vinciconsulting.com> >>>> wrote: >>>> >>> >>> Hi Damian, >>> >>> I looked at the lspci on the arm tests in the CI, and saw that we are >>> running against thunderX/thunderX2. >>> I requested a quote for a thunderX2 workstation. ;) >>> >>> Right now, I'm running experiments using the CI, but the feedback loop is >>> too long. >>> I was looking at this [0] because it has 16 cores and that is how we are >>> running the arm tests in the CI at the moment. >>> >>> Instead of what's my budget, I'm thinking more along the lines of what will >>> give me the greatest return for the investment. >>> >>> [0] >>> https://shop.solid-run.com/product-category/embedded-computers/nxp-family/honeycomb/ >>> >>> >>>> On Sun, Dec 22, 2019 at 3:06 PM Damjan Marion <dmar...@me.com> wrote: >>>> >>>> >>>> > On 22 Dec 2019, at 01:02, Paul Vinciguerra <pvi...@vinciconsulting.com> >>>> > wrote: >>>> > >>>> > I'm looking for something that I can run tests on an arm platform in a >>>> > reasonable timeframe. >>>> > >>>> > Any suggestions? >>>> >>>> What is your budget? >>>> >>>> >>> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- >>> Links: You receive all messages sent to this group. >>> >>> View/Reply Online (#14945): https://lists.fd.io/g/vpp-dev/message/14945 >>> Mute This Topic: https://lists.fd.io/mt/69204936/675164 >>> Group Owner: vpp-dev+ow...@lists.fd.io >>> Unsubscribe: https://lists.fd.io/g/vpp-dev/unsub [j...@netgate.com] >>> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- > Links: You receive all messages sent to this group. > > View/Reply Online (#14947): https://lists.fd.io/g/vpp-dev/message/14947 > Mute This Topic: https://lists.fd.io/mt/69204936/675642 > Group Owner: vpp-dev+ow...@lists.fd.io > Unsubscribe: https://lists.fd.io/g/vpp-dev/unsub [dmar...@me.com] > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
