Join our teamLayerscape SDK is the next generation of Linux enablement software for Layerscape and QorIQ family of processors. It provides all the necessary drivers, tools, and libraries required to enable all features of the Arm®-based Layerscape processors and Power-based QorIQ P-series and T-series processors.
Layerscape SDK is tested, certified, and frozen, ensuring a fully operational boot loader, kernel, and board-specific modules that are ready to use together within a fixed configuration for specific hardware reference platforms. Layerscape SDK, combined with CodeWarrior® tools, provides the foundation you need to begin your project quickly.

SDKs and BSPs are offered free of charge, "AS IS." Please review the Linux Technology Support Policies for more information.
In addition to the Layerscape components and hybrid Ubuntu support, we also provide support for a variety of popular embedded and server Linux distros. We work together with various open-source communities like Yocto project, OpenWRT, ONIE/ONL and OpenIL to ensure that support for our platforms is available as part of the regular releases from these distro communities. Our Layerscape components form a common base that is re-used across these various distros and maintains consistency across PowerPC based QorIQ P and T-series family and Arm®v8 based Layerscape family.
