1 Introduction

Broadcom®PS225 SmartNIC adapters, based on Broadcom's latest data center SoC technology, offer groundbreaking

network and compute power in a compact package. The PS225 adapters are PCI Express low-profile, half-length adapters,

and provide two 25-Gigabit Ethernet (25GbE) ports along with eight 64-bit ARMv8 processors running at an unmatched

3.0 GHz clock rate. The adapters are available in a range of on-board DDR4 memory sizes. The PS225-H04, PS225-H08,

and PS225-H16 adapters include 4 GB, 8 GB, and 16 GB of DDR4 memory, respectively.

2. Obtain the documentation listed in Table 1.

3. Install the latest binary/image package for the PS225. Upgrade if the PS225 card received has an old image.

NOTE: To check the image version information, refer to docSAFE (the Broadcom documentation portal) to download the

binary package required for the specific card type.

Package name format : NXS_SN-<release type>_<release version>_<card type>_bin.tar.gz

Example: NXS_SN-BM-Beta_1.1.8.0_H08GB_bin.tar

4. Become familiar with the following PS225 basic information:

– PS225 software version:

On PS225 Stingray (MAIA) console:

root@bcm958802a8048c:~# uname -a

Linux bcm958802a8048c 4.14.79+g5bb1623 #1 SMP Tue Nov 27 01:48:50 UTC 2018 aarch64

aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

On PS225 Stingray (MAIA) console:

root@bcm958802a8048c:~# hostname

bcm958802a8048c

– Check the Nitro profile configuration.

NOTE: By default, the card is upgraded with 2 x 25G port mode and 8 + 8 PFs profile configuration with eight PFs

on the Stingray (MAIA) side and eight PFs on the host (x86) side.

3 Initial Board Setup and Connectivity

This section describes the initial board setup and connectivity.

3.1 PS225 Connector Locations

There are two SFP28 ports and a UART console port for the ARM CPU subsystem located on the I/O panel of the board

(see Figure 4).

Figure 4: PS225 Connector Locations

NOTE: The UART console is accessible via the round 3.5 mm jack on the I/O panel. The interface uses TTL-level signaling

and can be accessed using a widely available USB-to-TTL cable of type TTL-232R-3V3-AJ (based on FTDI chip).

3.2 Installing the PS225

To install the PS225:

1. Power down the host system and remove the AC power.

2. Insert the PS225 card into a PCIe 3.0 slot (at least x8 size) in the host system.

3. Connect one end of the SFP cable to port 0 or port 1 on the PS225 (see Figure 5).

4. Connect the other end of the SFP cable to an Ethernet switch that supports 10G or 25G Ethernet (see Figure 5).

NOTE: Both Ethernet ports must be connected to link partners operating at the same speed: either both 25GbE or both

10GbE. The ports do not support mixing 25GbE and 10GbE links.

5. Optionally:

a. Connect the other port of the PS225 card to an Ethernet switch (see Figure 5).

b. Insert the 3.5 mm plug of a USB serial cable to the 3.5 mm socket on the front panel (see Figure 5).
