FRWY-LS1046A Evaluation Board and Kit
NXP's small form-factor edge computing platform based on the LS1046A processor is built on four Arm® Cortex®-A72 cores
NXP's Freeway LS1046A (FRWY-LS1046A) is a high-performance, low-cost edge computing platform based on the QorIQ® LS1046A quad-core 64-bit processor and is capable of more than 45,000 CoreMark® performance. The FRWY-LS1046A platform supports onboard DDR4 memory, multiple gigabit Ethernet, USB3.0, and M2 Type E interfaces over PCIe® Gen3 for Wi-Fi. The platform can enable a wide range of high-compute applications including AI/ML, industrial gateway, smart building gateway, wireless gateway, and many more. There are three configurations of FRWY-LS1046A available. The FRWY-LS1046A-TP configuration includes Coral acceleration. Both the FRWY-LS1046A-TP and the FRWY-LS1046A-AC come in an enclosure and include a plug-in IEEE 802.11ac Wi-Fi module to connect to a mobile device or PC. The FRWY-LS1046A-PA is a bare board for customers desiring additional flexibility. All three options have an HTML web page with a menu of preinstalled demos and videos of the different applications.
