QorLQ LS1021A PROCESSOR BLOCK DIAGRAMaudio applications, the LS1021A processor
includes support for both ASRC
®
and
SPDF. For industrial applications, the
processor provides four CAN ports and
up to 10 UARTS to support industrial
protocols. In addition, Serial IO includes
three I
2
C and two SPI interfaces.
COMPLETE ENABLEMENT,
RICH ECOSYSTEM
For customer evaluation, the QorIQ
LS1021A processor is supported by the
TWR-LS1021A development platform,
based on the modular Tower
®
System,
and features an integrated on-board
probe for further cost savings. The
TWR-LS1021A evaluation kit includes a
Linux
®
3.12 SDK with optimized drivers
and a free 90 day evaluation license for
the CodeWarrior development studio
supporting ARM development tools.
All QorIQ LS series devices are supported
by our extensive third-party ecosystem,
the largest and most established in the
communications market. In conjunction
with our expertise and worldwide support
infrastructure, the ecosystem helps
customers accelerate their migration
from both competitive solutions and from
legacy devices, preserve investment costs
and reduce time to market.

SUITES FOR NETWORKED
APPLICATIONS
LS Tower Suite Level
This suite was created to give you an
economic, yet complete full-featured
development tool for QorIQ LS
development when the LS part is in a
Tower Board configuration. The tools in
this suite have no limitations other than
they will only work with the Tower Board.
Developer Suite Level
This suite is the primary suite for
customers who develop with multicore
processors built on Power Architecture
®
including, QorIQ LS series devices and
QorIQ Qonverge SoCs as well as DSPs
based on StarCore technology. It is for
designers with full system responsibility
but no need for the extra costs of the
specialist and architect features.
Specialists Suite Level
This suite is designed so you can do
more than just compile and debug. Tools
in this suite are useful for customers
creating products for every market.
Get all the software included in the
Developer Suite plus additional board-
analysis tools. These tools can be used
by all customers in any market but not
everyone in a customer’s organization
needs these tools.
Architect Suite Level
This suite would best be used by
personnel who have a need to dig
deep into the networking aspects of a
development project. In this suite, you
will get all the software in the Specialist
Suite plus software tools designed
to give networking experts the extra
capability to find out how their system is
really working.
