Click over video to play

The LS1012A processor, optimized for battery-backed or USB-powered, space-constrained networking and IoT applications, integrates a single Arm® Cortex®-A53 core running up to 1GHz with a hardware packet forwarding engine and high-speed interfaces to deliver line-rate networking performance in an ultra-small size envelope at 1W typical power dissipation. The LS1012A incorporates the same Trust Architecture and software compatibility of higher-tier LS family devices, enabling scalable, secure applications that leverage a common 64-bit software platform.

Layerscape processors are part of NXP's EdgeVerse™ edge computing platform.
