FAQ

What is the LS1043A-SWSP-PRM?

The LS1043A-SWSP-PRM is NXP's premium software support plan for the LS1043A communications processor. It provides 250 annual support hours, priority access to ASK software updates, and direct engagement with Linux software experts - not a hardware component or license key, but a service contract tied to LS1043A-based development projects.

Does LS1043A-SWSP-PRM include hardware or software licenses?

No. The LS1043A-SWSP-PRM does not include hardware units or perpetual software licenses. It grants time-bound access to NXP's support infrastructure, issue tracking, test code, and expert engineering assistance specifically for LS1043A ASK software integration and troubleshooting.

How long is the LS1043A-SWSP-PRM support period?

The LS1043A-SWSP-PRM support period is a fixed 12-month term beginning when the voucher ID is issued. Annual renewal is required; unused hours do not carry over, and a $30,000 re-engagement fee applies if coverage lapses between periods.

Can LS1043A-SWSP-PRM be used for other QorIQ processors?

No. The LS1043A-SWSP-PRM is explicitly scoped to the LS1043A processor and its associated ASK software. While structurally similar to plans for LS1012A, LS1024A, or LS1046A, it does not cover those devices - each requires its own part-numbered support plan (e.g., LS1046A-SWSP-PRM).

What types of technical help does LS1043A-SWSP-PRM provide?

LS1043A-SWSP-PRM provides schematic review support, debugging tool guidance, root-cause analysis for software issues, workaround recommendations, and formal acknowledgment of bugs in LS1043A ASK software - all delivered through a dedicated voucher-linked issue tracking system and direct contact with NXP's Linux software engineering team.
