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.
