Profile: PMC Sierra, Inc. provides semiconductor solutions for enterprise & channel storage, wide area network infrastructure, fiber to the home, and laser printer market segments. The PM8389 SMC-L is a highly integrated MIPS-based processor with a set of storage system peripherals such as internal memory, two-wire interface(TWI), universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART), general purpose I/O (GPIO), fan control ports, and expansion ports for additional memory and I/O expansion. The device is optimized for storage system applications. A complete suite of firmware development tools and application programming interfaces are available to enable quick development of SCSI enclosure services (SES) or custom enclosure management applications. The MSP2006 belongs to a full family of multi-service processors designed to meet the performance, QoS and security needs of communications equipment used within the customer premise. The MSP2006 is an ideal solution for wireless routers and access points. It includes a powerful MIPS processor, two 10/100 ethernet MACs, and a PCI interface. Its unique systems architecture includes a 4.25 Gbit/s bus, and intelligent context aware DMA engines. Integration of 802.11a, b, and g wireless LANs is easily facilitated through the PCI interface. It supports Linux, VxWorks, or custom operating systems.
