QorIQ LS1 Processor Family QorIQ LS1043A Reference Design Board The QorIQ LS1043A processor is NXPs first quad-core, 64-bit ARM -based processor for embedded networking and industrial infrastructure. PROCESSOR OVERVIEW capabilities of the device, serves as a reference for your hardware development. It can also be used as a debug tool Both the dual-core version (LS1023A) and quad-core version to check behaviors on the board compared to behaviors (LS1043A) deliver greater than 10 Gbit/s of performance, seen on prototype boards. flexible I/O and support for fanless, small-form-factor designs with BOM optimizations for economic low-layer PCB, lower The LS1043A-RDB supports one PCI Express slot, one cost power supply and single clock design such as integrated mini-PCI Express connector, an SD/MMC connector service branch routers, SDN and NFV edge platforms, interface and three USB 3.0 receptacles. These components, industry 4.0 gateways, industrial PLC and control and integrated with the QorIQ LS1043A processor, provide an security appliances. applicationspecific platform that can help you get a jump start on your next design. The LS1043A-RDB also supports 2 The QorIQ LS1043A processor takes ARM processing GB of DDR4 at 1600 MHz, 128 MB of NOR flash and 512 MB performance to the next level with up to four 64-bit cores NAND flash. operating at 1.6 GHz and a large 1 MB L2 cache for the best CPU performance per watt in a processor that runs on In addition, the LS1043A-RDB is loaded with the Embedded voltage as low as five watts. This powerful CPU complex is Linux software development kit (SDK) for QorIQ processors coupled with the proven offload engines of the QorIQ data v1.8. The SDK includes a 64-bit SMP Linux kernel, user path acceleration architecture (DPAA) to deliver up to 10 space DPAA for high-performance packet handling, U-boot, Gbit/s performance and protocol processing with minimal the GCC tool chain and virtualization support and many CPU overhead. other features.
