1 Introduction
The NXP MPC-LS VNP EVB brings an advanced automotive gateway solution
using NXP's MPC5748G gateway microcontroller and LS1043A
communications processor SoCs. The combination of a real-time
microcontroller with microprocessor application processing enables new
gateway use cases and service-oriented gateways. The complete MPC-LS
VNP EVB solution consists of two boards - a Processor Module and a Platform
Board with a wide array of automotive interfaces.
This document provides detailed reference information for the MPC-LS VNP
Evaluation Board (EVB) comprising a Processor Module and a Platform Board.
This includes detailed board configuration including connectors, jumpers, LED
notifications, board programming, and recovery instructions. The document
also includes usage of software tools and environment for building, flashing,
and debugging the board.
To get familiar with the system, the user needs to follow the below work flow:
1. Bring up the MPC-LS VNP EVB as described in the Quick Start Guide.
(Requires MPC-LS VNP EVB)
2. Install required software per section
