COMPLETE ENABLEMENT,

RICH ECOSYSTEM

NXP’s strong legacy of networking

expertise and ARM’s rapidly growing

development base provides a rich

ecosystem for our customers. Our

extensive third-party ecosystem, the

largest and most established in the

communications market, supports

all QorIQ LS series devices. This

environment also supports the vibrant,

growing ARM ecosystem, including

the Linaro™ not-for-profit engineering

organization and the exciting OpenData

Plane™ project, a project that strives

to deliver open-source, cross-platform

interoperability.

In conjunction with our expertise and

worldwide support infrastructure, this

broad ecosystem helps customers

accelerate their migration from non-

NXP solutions and legacy NXP devices,

preserve investment costs and reduce

time-to-market.
