QorIQ LS1 Processor Family QorIQ LS1 Processor Family

QorIQ LS1088A and LS1048A Communications Processors Overview The QorIQ LS10x8A family of multicore communications processors combine up to eight ARM ® Cortex ® -A53 cores with the advanced, high-performance datapath and network peripheral interfaces required for wireless access points, networking infrastructure, intelligent edge access, including virtual customer premise equipment (vCPE), and high-performance industrial applications. The QorIQ LS10x8A processors include Freescale’s second generation datapath acceleration architecture (DPAA2). DPAA2 provides the infrastructure required to support simplified and secure networking interface and accelerator sharing by multiple general purpose CPU cores, while also providing a range of powerful acceleration engines to off- load software running on the CPUs. The ARM ® general purpose processors and DPAA2 are supported by a powerful software toolkit that provides a higher level of hardware abstraction and makes software development quick and simple. This combination balances ease-of-use with high-performance processing in a Linux ® environment that is familiar to any software programmer. Customers can fully exploit the underlying hardware and easily adapt to network changes for real-time ‘soft’ control over the network.

Target Applications • Intelligent edge access • NFV solutions • Wireless access point control • Virtual CPE • iNIC offload processing • Industrial Software Toolkit Freescale has significant and increasing global investment in software for the embedded marketplace. The Freescale software development kit (SDK) delivers foundational technologies (user space, fast path, virtualization) that are continuously ‘upstreamed’ to support the networking portfolio. With 13+ years experience of commercial ARM software tooling, operating system development and delivery, Freescale continues to be a strong supporter of open source and industry software consortia, including Linaro and the Linux Foundation.
