QorIQ® LS1046A Reference Design Board The LS1046A reference design board (RDB) is a high-performance computing, evaluation, and development platform that supports the QorIQ LS1046A, a processor with four 64-bit ARM® Cortex®-A72 cores that supports packet processing acceleration and high-speed peripherals. PROCESSOR OVERVIEW The impressive performance of more than 32,000 CoreMarks®, paired with 10 Gbit Ethernet, PCIe Gen. 3, SATA 3.0, USB 3.0 and QSPI interfaces provides a perfect combination for a range of enterprise and service provider networking, storage, security and industrial applications. The LS1046A and LS1026A are available in a 23 x 23 mm package and are pin-compatible with the LS1023A, LS1043A and LS1088A SoCs, offering unprecedented performance scaling for 64-bit ARM processors, ranging from dual-A53 through octal-A53 to quad-A72 core processors, while maintaining hardware and software compatibility. This flexible scaling enables customers to leverage their existing software and reuse hardware design for faster time-to-market. REFERENCE DESIGN BOARD The LS1046A reference design board (RDB) is a high- performance computing, evaluation, and development platform that supports the QorIQ LS1046A communications processor. The RoHS-compliant lead-free and LS1046ARDB board is optimized to support DDR4 memory and a full complement of high-speed SerDes ports.
