NXP Semiconductors' Layerscape FRWY-LS1012A board is an ultra-low-cost development platform for LS1012A series communication processors built on Arm® Cortex®-A53. This tool refines the FRDM-LS1012A with more features for a better hands-on experience for IoT, edge computing, and various advanced embedded applications. Features include easy access to processor I/O, low-power operation, microSD card storage, an M2 connector, a small form factor, and expansion board options via mikroBUS™ Click board™. The mikroBUS module provides easy expansion via hundreds of powerful modules supporting sensors, actuators, memories, and displays.
