-== SoC Name here ==
+== {{{name|{{SUBPAGENAME}}}}} ==
-Brief overview of the SoC bits here
+Based on NXP’s Layerscape LX2160A. The platform has 16 Arm Cortex A72's, SODIMM Slots, SATA, USB3, PCIe, and 10/40/100G networking.
-== Kernel features status and overview here ==
+For the most part, the machine behaves like a standard SystemReady machine with UEFI+ACPI. The normal Fedora install and administration guides should be used. Yet, some of the machines ship without UEFI installed, and the high-speed (DPAA2) networking requires some additional nonstandard configuration.
-== Bootloader/firmware status and overview here ==
+== Kernel features status and overview ==
+== Bootloader/firmware status and overview ==
+The system should be provisioned with a recent UEFI firmware image from https://images.solid-run.com/LX2k/lx2160a_uefi
+Choose the correct firmware based on whether it will be flashed to the SPI or SD and matches the installed RAM speed.
+The solidrun pages have details on how to assure the correct firmware is installed, but for SD the process is approximatly:
+* Download the image
+* decompress it with xzdec,
+* dd it to a raw sd card like: dd if=lx2160acex7_2200_700_2400_8_5_2.img of=/dev/sdX where sdX is the SD card.
+* Plug the SD card into the board.
+* Make sure firmware boot source switches are set off-ON-ON-ON-ON-off.
 == Other details ==
+* On the first boot of the installer, it may be required to add `arm-smmu.disable_bypass=0` to the grub/kernel command line. That will then propagate to the installed system and remain over upgrades.
+* To manage the SFP+ ports please install the "restool" package.
+* To auto-enable the SFP+ ports, it may be necessary to add a udev rule to /etc/udev/rules.d. For example, a file named fsl_mc_bus.rules containing: `ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="fsl-mc", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="fsl_mc_bus_dpmac", RUN+="/usr/bin/flock /usr/bin/ls-addni -c '(PATH=/usr/bin /usr/bin/ls-addni %k)'`
