OVERVIEW

The QorIQ LS1012A communications processor addresses a

wide variety of applications such as consumer NAS, battery-

powered mobile NAS, entry-level broadband gateway, value-

tier IoT gateways, trusted gateways, Industrial automation,

building control, networked audio, Ethernet drives and more.

The QorIQ LS1012A reference design board (LS1012ARDB)

is a compact form-factor tool that enables evaluation of the

LS1012A solution for these and other low-end networking

applications. The LS1012ARDB also features an expansion

connector suitable for adding additional components such as

The QorIQ LS1012ARDB can help shorten your time-to-market

by exercising most capabilities of the device and can serve as

a reference for hardware development. It can also be used as

a debug tool to check behaviors on the board compared to

behaviors seen on customer boards. The board can be used

for software development and performance evaluation prior to

the customer’s own board being ready.

The LS1012ARDB comes in a compact 5.59 in x 5.59 in form

module is included to facilitate evaluation and development

of Wi-Fi connectivity solutions.

The LS1012A processor is a cost-effective, power-efficient

and highly integrated system-on-chip design that extends

the reach of NXP’s Value Performance line of QorIQ

communications processors into the ultra-value tier. Featuring

core running at up to 800 MHz and yielding over 2,000

CoreMarks, the LS1012A will deliver high packet processing

performance and low power consumption.

Additional functionally includes an integrated hardware packet

acceleration engine, together with high-speed interfaces

and support for DDR3L running at 1000 MHz. High-speed

USB2.0, SATA3.0 and dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers, with

support for RGMII, and SGMII that can accommodate 2.5 Gbit

Ethernet PHYs. To deliver outstanding security performance,

the LS1012A features a hardware-based acceleration engine

TrustZone™ and NXP’s QorIQ Trust Architecture.
