For customer evaluation, the QorIQ LS1012A processor will be supported by an evaluation board featuring an integrated on-board probe for further cost savings, along with third-party platforms developed by NXP’s embedded board solution partners. Evaluation kits include a Linux® BSP with optimized drivers to support peripherals and CodeWarrior development tools. All QorIQ LS series devices are supported by NXP’s Product Longevity Program to ensure long-term availability, as well as their extensive third-party ecosystem, one of the largest and most established in the communications market. In conjunction with NXP’s expertise and worldwide support infrastructure, the ecosystem helps customers accelerate their migration from both competitive solutions and from legacy Freescale devices, preserve investment costs and reduce time-to-market.
