2/ Description
The SMARC-sAL28 is a SMARC half-size module using the NXPs LS1028 processor with dual core ARM. It is designed
on the latest SMARC 2.0 specification. The SMARC-sAL28 is a highly integrated, embedded computer board
incorporating the edge technology with a dual core SoC from NXP to take advantage of the very optimized power
consumption/performance ratio. Due to the integrated Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) capabilities of the LS1028
and the integrated 4-port Ethernet switch, this board will allow to build very cost effective TSN capable Ethernet
gateways for greenfield and brownfield applications.

2.1. SMARC™ Computer-on-Modules
The SMARC™ standard was developed especially for new modules with ARM- and SoC-processors. Boards with this
interfaces are characterized by the extremely flat form factor. The SMARC or MXM 3.0 connector comes with 314
pins and a construction height of just 4.3 millimeters. The connector is also available in a shock- and vibration-
resistant version for rough environmental conditions.
Furthermore, the standard integrates dedicated interfaces for the latest ARM, x86 and SoC processors like LVDS,
24-bit RGB and HDMI support. OEMs profit from minimized design effort and low Bill of Material (BoM) costs.
SMARC™ defines two different module sizes in order to offer a high level of flexibility regarding different
mechanical requirements.
Main characteristics of the SMARC-sAL28 are:
 Dual-Core Cortex A-72 on a SMARC short size form factor

TDP)
 Up to 4 GB DDR3L non-ECC and ECC memory down, ECC as default, 8 GbE as option
 One PCIe line can be used as QSGMII port to drive 4x 1 GB TSN capable Ethernet ports
 3D GPU
 DP support (default)
 LVDS Display support (resistor option)
 Alternative eDP (resistor option)
 2x Gigabit Ethernet, Wake on LAN (WoL) support, TSN capable
 Support for Audio and common features (SPI, I2C, SMB etc.)
 Chip integrated security solution support
 Full industrial grade temp. range E2 (-40°C up to +85°C) for standard SKUs, commercial version possible
 eMMC flash onboard
 Optional APPROTECT (security chip) support on request, more information under
