QorIQ LS1088A and LS1048A
Communications Processors
Enabling the intelligent edge with NXP’s next generation DPAA2 data path
architecture and ARM v8 64-bit processors.
TARGET 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. Customers can fully
exploit the underlying hardware and easily adapt to network
changes for real-time ‘soft’ control over the network.

SOFTWARE TOOLKIT
OVERVIEW
NXP has significant and increasing global investment in software
for the embedded marketplace. The NXP software development
kit (SDK) delivers foundational technologies (user space, fast
path, virtualization) that are continuously ‘upstreamed’ to
support the networking portfolio. With 13+ years experience
of commercial ARM software tooling, operating system
development and delivery, NXP continues to be a strong
The QorIQ LS10x8A family of multicore communications
processors combines up to eight ARM® Cortex®-A53 cores
with the advanced, high-performance datapath and network
peripheral interfaces required for wireless access points,
networking infrastructure and intelligent edge access,
including virtual customer premise equipment (vCPE), and
high-performance industrial applications.
The QorIQ LS10x8A processors include NXP’s second-
generation datapath acceleration architecture (DPAA2).
DPAA2 provides the infrastructure required to support
simplified and secure networking interface and accelerator
sharing by multiple general-purpose CPU cores, while also
providing a range of powerful acceleration engines to
offload software running on the CPUs.
