Layerscape LS1028A Reference Design Board

Overview

The LS1028A reference design board (RDB) is a computing, evaluation, and development platform that supports industrial IoT applications, human machine interface solutions, and industrial networking.

The LS1028A processor is dual-core 64-bit Arm^® Cortex^®-A72. The LS1028ARDB can help reduce development time by providing:

A reference for custom board development
A debug tool to check behavior on the board compared to custom board designs
A pre-loaded embedded Linux^® Software Development Kit (SDK) for Layerscape^® processors
