Ubuntu Core ported to NXP quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 SoC

NXP and Canonical have ported Ubuntu Core to NXP's quad Arm Cortex-A53 core LS1043A SoC, aimed at IoT gateways and networking equipment.

By Steve Bush , Electronics Weekly, Mar. 22, 2017 – "Embedded networking products can run standard Linux applications such as Quagga or Sonic," said NXP. "Ubuntu Core therefore makes full use of the LS1043A network and IO features, such as packet acceleration, to simultaneous support high bandwidth traffic over 802.11ac, and IoT data collection through Bluetooth LE, Thread or Zigbee."

The Ubuntu image demonstrated allows device manufacturers to use 'snaps' - the cross-platform Linux packaging format - to build their applications.

"Snaps offer a number of features for device manufacturers along the software management lifecycle, from development to deployment and from security to business models," said NXP. They allow developers to create, package, test and distribute self-contained applications based on existing Ubuntu and Linux libraries.
