QorIQ LS1 Processor Family TWR-LS1021A Tower System Module Rapid Prototyping Platform for IoT and Industrial Control Applications Overview The QorIQ TWR-LS1021A Tower system module is the most feature-rich and high-performance Tower system offered by Freescale. It enables compatibility and interoperability with the growing list of Tower expansion modules, providing an easily accessible and interchangeable suite of capabilities and features to support rapid prototyping as well as software development programs. The TWR-LS1021A module is engineered to enable a wide range of applications, from IoT gateways to industrial controllers, secure access points and asset management systems. Customers benefit from the high level of integration, excellent balance of performance to power, and robust reliability. Setting the TWR-LS1021A module apart is its outstanding level of performance delivered by the QorIQ LS1021A processor incorporating dual cores running up to 1 GHz and delivering more than 5,000 Coremarks of performance. The module offers higher integration levels than any prior Tower main processor board, which enables true single board designs to be supported. As a result, both design effort and complexity are reduced. In addition, the TWR-LS1021A module offers HDMI, SATA3 and USB3 connectors and a complete Linux software developers package. The TWR-LS1021A module provides a comprehensive level of security that includes support for secure boot, Trust Architecture and tamper detection, in both standby and active power modes. Together, these features safeguard the device from the point of manufacture to the point of deployment. This ensures the device is protected from malicious hacking and guarantees end products can support highly secure nodes. Ready-to-Use Design The QorIQ TWR-LS1021A module, as well as the TWR-LCD and TWR-IND-IO expansion modules can be ordered from Freescale Direct or our authorized distributors. The kit includes a fully tested TWR-LS1021A main processor module, Quick Start Guide, User Manual, power cord and connector cables. Freescale also makes available the complete board design files including schematics, bill of materials and GERBER files at no charge.
