The P4080 PCIE is a PCIE Adapter board with a Freescale QorIQ P4080 SOC/Processor. Even though theform factor is a PCIE Adapter， the hardware design follows the Freescale‘s P4080 Development System， asmuch as possible. The P4080 PCIe Adapter is also referred to in some Freescale documentation as the N710P4080PCIe adapter. The nomenclature for this document is P4080 PCIE Adapter.The P4080 PCIE Adapter supports two modes of operation - a standalone host mode and a PCIe Endpoint

　　mode. The adapter SDK comprises a P4080 based software framework to support communication over

　　PCIE with the x86 host and an x86 host framework that includes Linux drivers and application libraries that

　　enable access to the P4080 DPAA. The SDK of the Adapter provides support for the growing demand for

　　intelligent network acceleration and application offload for converged datacenter applications such asStorage， Security， Deep Packet Inspection （DPI）， Firewall， WAN Optimization， and Application Delivery（ADC） computing.In most cases， operating and programming the P4080 PCIE is the same as the Freescale P4080DS.

　　additional reference， see the Freescale DevSys User guide， and the SDK 2.3 Documentation［2
