VVDN - NXP - T4240 Dual Node MFCS Prototype System

Description: This is a prototype for a company I used to work for. The system never went into production. It contains two full compute nodes. Each has its own NXP T4240 SoC with 24 virtual cores each (see link below for information). There are four 2.5" drive bays, 2 for each node. They currently have 2x 250GB WD drives and 2x SSDs (not sure of the size). There are 4x 10GbE SFP connections, several console connections, and a bunch of other ports that I'm unsure what it does. I think this thing had the ability to mesh across both nodes, but don't know much about that. It has dual power supplies as well (likely one for each node). The original cost to build this thing, one-off, was in the $15,000 range. I know it was booting last time I used it (Ubuntu Linux OS). There's likely some source code for the kernel and U-Boot boot loader on the drives. This system was meant to be a high-end compute server. It's capable of up to 96GB memory per node. The T4240 SoC has a lot of offload engines for things like string matching, blackened encryption, etc. The original concept for this was something along the lines of an encryption server (key storage, SSL, file encryption, etc.). I actually have two software patents that are based on the encryption offloading in this hardware. Lastly, I believe this also contains NXPs C29x encryption board per node. Don't hold me to that. My assumption is based on the C29x Eth ports on the back. https://www.nxp.com/products/processors-and-microcontrollers/power-architecture/qoriq-communication-processors/t-series/qoriq-t4240-t4160-t4080-multicore-communications-processors:T4240
