Features

Product Overview

The MSP7150-PGI multi-service processor is a carrier grade gateway SoC for EPON/GPON/EoC/WiMAX/IP PBX applications and a line interface solution for multi-service residential gateways (RGs). The chipset addresses carrier multi-service requirements with superior performance, advanced QoS capabilities, and robust voice processing achieved with a standard, open programming model.
The MSP7150-PGI chipset is part of PMC-Sierra's 7100 Series of multi-service processors, which now also includes the MSP7150. The MSP7150-PGI extends the range of the 7100 Series by including higher performance and enhanced interfaces.
The 7100 Series enables Telco and ISP visions for the digital home to be turned into reality. This newest breed of RG processor ensures concurrent single-core functionality for voice, video, and data services resulting in service performance guarantees. The MSP7150-PGI's superior packet processing and QoS performance address planned and evolving use cases. As well, the MSP7150-PGI has the processing power to support all EPON/GPON carrier service models including LAN traffic and headroom to support application processing.
The MSP7150-PGI's high performance multi-threaded (MT) 7100 Series core delivers dynamic multifunction guarantees for the flexible allocation of resources. Combined with three 10/100/1000 GE MACs, a DDR1/2 memory interface, and dual USB 2.0 interfaces, this powerful RG engine plays a central role for the delivery of IP services.
The MSP7150-PGI chipset supports PMC EPON and GPON drivers, and third party drivers including WiFi, SLIC/SLAC, MoCA and HPNA for faster time-to-market.
The MSP7150-PGI includes a Linux software development kit and reference application software including OpenWRT and oSIP.

Benefits

Exceptional simultaneous processing behaviors are essential for triple play and the evolution to true multi-service deployments. PMC-Sierra's RG solution enables complex traffic management, routing, bridging, and firewall tasks concurrently with the ability to support processing guarantees for voice, video, and data services. These simultaneous processing capabilities ensure critical quality of experience (QoE) for all broadband service deployments.

  • Multi-function Core
    • Dynamic reassignment of processing cycles between diverse functions of the multi-service digital home with cycle guarantees for robust QoE
  • Processing Power
    • The 600 MHz MT 7100 Core achieves industry-leading processing power
    • Provides essential headroom to address requirements for evolving services, service bandwidth, and digital home infrastructure: stronger management/control, interworking of HAN technologies for end-to-end QoS, and gateway application processing
  • Multi-service Networking
    • Greater packet processing permits advanced QoS features for robust service delivery, for high service bandwidth and guarantees for service growth
  • Robust Voice Processing
    • VoIP Terminal Adapter functionality is guaranteed, independent of all other processing and traffic conditions
    • Centralized processing of voice enables resources (when not required for voice functions) to be dynamically allocated to other functions without influence from software
  • 'Programmer-friendly' Programming Model
    • Leverages standard tools and a large software ecosystem with best of breed components support
    • Linux-based software stack
    • Open 7100 Series programming model
    • MaxMT Networking FastPath
    • Significantly improves network throughput performance
    • Easily customized to meet the growing complexity of today's gateway requirements
  • Gigabit Throughput
    • The MSP7100 Core provides exceptionally fast networking performance to leverage the full potential of next generation access networks and ultra-high-speed home networking technologies

Software

The MSP7150-PGI is supported by a Linux software development kit (7100 Series RG SDK). The SDK enables designers to quickly and easily build high-performance, feature-rich gateways.

The SDK includes a voice processing module (VPM) VoIP firmware suite.

The MSP7150-PGI and SDK are supported by standard tools from industry leading vendors as well as by GNU development tools (compiler, debugger, EJTAG support, etc.). PMC leverages open source SMP Linux and OpenWRT based software to provide flexible and easy customizations to meet the growing complexity of today's residential gateway requirements.

For more details about the software development environment, refer to the MSP7100 Series SDK Product Brief.
