The ECUcore-1021 is a computer core based on the Freescale QorIQ LS1021A microcontroller and offers a large number of different high-speed communication and I/O interfaces in a compact and cost-optimized design. The Freescale QorIQ LS1021A is based on a 1GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A7 with low power dissipation, and allows flexible configuration of the on-chip interfaces available at the connector. Thus, the user is able to customize the functionality needed for his application. This high degree of flexibility allows the use of the ECUcore-1021 in a multitude of applications where high computing power and simultaneous connection to different Ethernet and fieldbus based networks are required.

The LS1021A offers an on-chip encryption engine for the hardware-supported encryption of data. The CPU is thus relieved of these computationally intensive tasks and more computing time is available to the application. The available DDR3 RAM is connected to the CPU in the full bus width and can optionally be extended by an ECC RAM module.

Furthermore, the ECUcore-1021 offers the following on-board features:

• RTC (real-time clock)
• Temperature sensor
• Watchdog

Available separately:

• Firmware Protection
• 1x ADC
• Window Watchdog

A fully integrated IEC 61131-3 runtime environment based on CODESYS V3 with optional Web-Visu and CODESYS SoftMotion is available for the ECUcore-1021. A corresponding fully functional demo version (runtime limited to 2h) is available in conjunction with our Development Kit or Application Kit.

We are happy to offer you the service of adapting the drivers in the BSP to customer-specific hardware. The maintenance of the BSP and customer-specific adaptations are carried out by in-house software specialists at SYS TEC electronic. This enables us to react very quickly and purposefully to your requirements!
