1 About this document
This document provides recommendations for new designs
based on the LS1046A/LS1026A processor, which is a cost-
effective, power-efficient, and highly integrated system-on-
chip (SoC) design that extends the reach of the NXP Value
Performance line of QorIQ communications processors.
This document can also be used to debug newly-designed
systems by highlighting those aspects of a design that merit
special attention during initial system start-up.
NOTE
This document applies to the LS1046A and
LS1026A devices. For a list of functionality
differences, see the appendices in QorIQ
LS1046A Reference Manual
(document
LS1046ARM).
