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.

Clouds, while flexible, depend on workloads not being overly sensitive to network latency or bandwidth. For applications where humans are directly involved; such as mobile phones, tablets or personal computers, the delays and bandwidth limitations of cloud computing are not noticeable. For applications requiring real-time millisecond responses like autonomous driving, dealing with massive amounts of data such as real-time video processing, or applications with regulatory requirements on where data is located or processing is performed, relying solely on cloud-based computing will not provide acceptable solutions. 1513380701971706513588 PSP 87.0 KB None None documents None 1513380701971706513588 /docs/en/supporting-information/AWSGREENGRSSA4FL.pdf 86989 /docs/en/supporting-information/AWSGREENGRSSA4FL.pdf AWSGREENGRSSA4FL documents N N 2017-12-15 Computing at the Edge – Executive Summary /docs/en/supporting-information/AWSGREENGRSSA4FL.pdf /docs/en/supporting-information/AWSGREENGRSSA4FL.pdf Supporting Information N 371282830530968666 2022-12-07 pdf N en Dec 15, 2017 371282830530968666 Supporting Information N Computing at the Edge – Executive Summary 26 1.9 English FSLNISTCAVP: NXP<sup>&#174;</sup> Semiconductors has performed NIST CAVP testing of cryptographic accelerators (called Execution Units or EUs) found in multiple product families, including the PowerQUICC<sup>&#174;</sup> and QorIQ<sup>&#174;</sup> embedded communications processors, and the StarCore<sup>&#174;</sup> digital signal processors. 1368836090577704535160 PSP 303.5 KB None None documents None 1368836090577704535160 /docs/en/supporting-information/FSLNISTCAVP.pdf 303546 /docs/en/supporting-information/FSLNISTCAVP.pdf FSLNISTCAVP documents N N 2016-11-09 FSLNISTCAVP, NIST Crypto Algorithm Validation Program Certifications for NXP<sup>®</sup> Cryptographic Accelerators - White Paper /docs/en/supporting-information/FSLNISTCAVP.pdf /docs/en/supporting-information/FSLNISTCAVP.pdf Supporting Information N 371282830530968666 2022-12-07 pdf N en Oct 28, 2016 371282830530968666 Supporting Information Y N FSLNISTCAVP, NIST Crypto Algorithm Validation Program Certifications for NXP<sup>®</sup> Cryptographic Accelerators - White Paper 27 1 English 1476303913368724545562 PSP 17.6 KB None None documents None 1476303913368724545562 /docs/en/supporting-information/LS1012A_14A-PECI.pdf 17559 /docs/en/supporting-information/LS1012A_14A-PECI.pdf LS1012A_14A-PECI documents N N 2016-11-09 LS1012A_14A Family Customer Export Control Information /docs/en/supporting-information/LS1012A_14A-PECI.pdf /docs/en/supporting-information/LS1012A_14A-PECI.pdf Supporting Information N 371282830530968666 2023-06-19 pdf N en Oct 12, 2016 371282830530968666 Supporting Information Y N LS1012A_14A Family Customer Export Control Information false 0 LS1012A downloads en true 1 Y PSP Y Y Application Note 18 /docs/en/application-note/AN12310.pdf 2022-04-27 1651046281017726871122 PSP 4 Apr 27, 2022 Application Note This application note introduces the LS1xxxx and LS2xxxx devices Thermal Management Unit (TMU).

Clouds, while flexible, depend on workloads not being overly sensitive to network latency or bandwidth. For applications where humans are directly involved; such as mobile phones, tablets or personal computers, the delays and bandwidth limitations of cloud computing are not noticeable. For applications requiring real-time millisecond responses like autonomous driving, dealing with massive amounts of data such as real-time video processing, or applications with regulatory requirements on where data is located or processing is performed, relying solely on cloud-based computing will not provide acceptable solutions.
