Overview
QorIQ LS1012A processor
Optimized for space-constrained, battery-powered or USB-powered networking and IoT applications, it integrates a single ARM Cortex-A53 core running at up to 800 MHz, equipped with a hardware packet forwarding engine and high-speed interfaces, capable of providing line-speed network performance at a typical power loss of 1W and in an ultra-small package. The LS1012A uses the same trusted architecture and software compatibility as higher-level QorIQ LS series devices, supporting scalable security applications that leverage common 64-bit software platforms.
