The Marvell MACCHIATObin is a family of cost-effective and high-performance networking community boards targeting ARM64bit high end networking and storage applications.
With a offering that include a fully open source software that include U-Boot, UEFI, Linux, Yocto, netmap, ODP and DPDK, the Marvell MACCHIATObin Single Shot and Double Shot are optimal platforms for community developers and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to develop networking and storage applications.
Both MACCHIATObin flavors are powered by Marvell ARMADA 8040 quad-core SoC chipset that runs up to 2GHz.
Technical Specifications
The MACCHIATObin family was envisioned to bring affordable ARM-based development boards to the community. In line with this objective, MACCHIATObin introduces two new products: the budget-minded MACCHIATObin Single Shot and the high-performance, full-featured MACCHIATObin Double Shot.
Key technical differences between the two products are shown in the table below.
