NXP Priority Support: Helping You to Get to Market Faster

Click over video to play

The LS10x8A family of multicore communications processors combines four up to and eight Arm^® Cortex^®-A53 cores with the advanced, high-performance data path and network peripheral interfaces required for wireless access points, networking infrastructure, intelligent edge access, including virtual customer premise equipment (vCPE) and high-performance industrial applications.

The Arm^® general-purpose processors and DPAA2 are supported by a powerful software toolkit that provides a higher level of hardware abstraction and makes software development quick and simple. This combination balances ease-of-use with high-performance processing in a Linux^® environment that is familiar to any software programmer.

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