Chapter 1
LS1028ARDB Overview
The QorIQ®LS1028A reference design board (LS1028ARDB) is a computing, evaluation, development, and test platform
supporting the QorIQ LS1028A processor, which is a dual-core Arm®Cortex®-v8 A72 processor with frequency up to 1.3 GHz.
The LS1028ARDB is optimized to support SGMII (1 Gbit/s), QSGMII (5 Gbit/s), PCIe x1 (8 Gbit/s), and SATA (6 Gbit/s) over high-
speed SerDes ports, USB 3.0, DisplayPort, and also a high-bandwidth DDR4 memory.
The LS1028ARDB can be used to develop and demonstrate human machine interface systems, industrial control systems such
as robotics controllers and motion controllers, and PLCs. The reference design also provides the functionality needed for Industrial
IoT gateways, edge computing, industrial PCs, and wireless or wired networking gateways.
The board is lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
The LS1043A processor is used in the LS1028ARDB for early evaluation of board. Throughout this document,
description of LS1028ARDB features also applies to the board with the LS1043A interposer, unless otherwise
noted.
NOTE
Developers using the LS1028ARDB can perform standard debugging tasks, such as:
• Upload and run code
• Set breakpoints
• Display memory and registers
• Connect and incorporate proprietary hardware into target systems using the LS1028A as a host processor
• Use the LS1028ARDB as a demonstration tool
The board support package (BSP) is developed using the Linux operating system. The onboard CPLD provides startup
configuration information for the U-Boot and Linux.

2.2.3 Power supply sequence
The LS1028ARDB board is configured to switch ON automatically when the 12 V power supply is switched ON and is connected
to jack (J1) on the board.
The 12 V input can be subsequently power cycled using the following events:
• The power switch (push button) is pressed
• The register bit, PWR_CTL2[PWR], is set to ‘1’ using the I2C or JTAG/CCS communication paths
On the availability of 12 V supply to the power regulators, the orderly enable of all power supplies are sequenced using powergood
of the regulators, as shown in the following figure.
