FAQ

What is LS1046A-SWSP-PRM?

LS1046A-SWSP-PRM is NXP's Premium software support plan for the QorIQ LS1046A communications processor. It provides 250 annual support hours, access to new ASK software releases and test codes, and next-business-day engagement with Linux software experts. LS1046A-SWSP-PRM is not a hardware component but a service contract enabling sustained software development and maintenance for LS1046A-based platforms.

Does LS1046A-SWSP-PRM include hardware support?

No, LS1046A-SWSP-PRM covers only software-related support for the LS1046A Application Solution Kit - including BSP, Linux kernel, bootloader, and toolchain updates. Hardware design review, schematic validation, or silicon-level failure analysis are not included unless explicitly added via separate engineering services agreements beyond LS1046A-SWSP-PRM scope.

How does LS1046A-SWSP-PRM differ from LS1046A-SWSP-PLS?

LS1046A-SWSP-PRM offers 250 annual support hours, up to 10 user accounts, access to test codes, and custom feature request capability - while LS1046A-SWSP-PLS provides 100 hours and 3 user accounts without test code access or custom feature options. LS1046A-SWSP-PRM also guarantees next-business-day Linux expert engagement, whereas LS1046A-SWSP-PLS follows standard escalation timing.

Is LS1046A-SWSP-PRM transferable between projects?

No, LS1046A-SWSP-PRM is assigned per independent customer project and tied to a unique voucher ID. Each project requires its own LS1046A-SWSP-PRM license. Renewal must occur annually, and unused hours do not carry over. A $30,000 re-engagement fee applies if coverage lapses between periods.

What software components are covered under LS1046A-SWSP-PRM?

LS1046A-SWSP-PRM covers officially released QorIQ LS1046A ASK software components: Linux BSP, U-Boot, OpenWrt integration layers, security firmware, and associated drivers validated for the LS1046A processor. Optional packages - such as advanced packet processing accelerators or proprietary protocol stacks - require separate maintenance fees beyond LS1046A-SWSP-PRM scope.
