OVERVIEW

The affordable reference design combines standards-based,

open source software together with a feature-rich IoT

gateway design, to establish a common, open framework for

secure IoT service delivery and management.

VERSATILE DESIGN

Setting the LS1021A-IoT gateway apart is the wide

assortment of high speed and serial based connectivity it

offers in a compact, highly secure design, delivering an

impressive level of versatility. An additional innovation of the

reference design is its support for Arduino Shield™ modules,

which further enable support for a variety of communication

solutions offered by the family of Arduino modules. High

efficiency is achieved through the use of the ARM

-based

QorIQ LS1021A embedded processor, which delivers over

5,000 CoreMarks

of performance at a typical power of under

3 Watts. The MC34VR500 regulator powers the complete

LS1021A-IoT gateway design.

This device is ideally suited to power system solutions with

unique programmable multiple DC/DC and LDO outputs. In

addition to its outstanding performance efficiency and high

level of integration, the LS1021A-IoT gateway design offers

HDMI, SATA3 and USB3 connectors as well as a complete

Linux

software developers package.

The LS1021A-IoT reference design supports a comprehensive

level of security, which includes secure boot, Trust

Architecture and tamper detection for both standby and

active power modes. Together, these features safeguard

customer designs from the point of manufacture to the

IoT Gateway Reference Design

The IoT gateway reference design based on the QorIQ LS1021A processor (LS1021A-IOT-B) is

a purpose-built, small footprint hardware platform equipped with a wide array of high speed

connectivity and low speed serial interfaces engineered to support the secure delivery of IoT

services to end users in a home, business or other commercial location.

READY-TO-MANUFACTURE DESIGN

The LS1021A-IoT gateway reference

design can significantly reduce

investment costs for OEM or ODM

manufacturers seeking to address new

IoT market needs or deploy new IoT

services. As new standards emerge, the

IoT gateway design enables them to be

quickly supported through a standards

based design approach without

significant investment costs. Combined

with a comprehensive software

development kit that has been optimized

to support the platforms wide variety

of interfaces and protocols ensures

maximum usability. We make available to

customers purchasing the IoT gateway

platform the complete design files, as

well as detailed bill of materials (BOM) at

no additional charge.
