1 Introduction

®
The Layerscape
LX2160A reference design board (RDB) provides a
comprehensive platform that enables design and evaluation of the Layerscape
LX2160A processor.
The LX2160ARDB functions with an integrated development environment
(IDE), such as CodeWarrior Development Studio. For instructions on how
to work with the CodeWarrior Development Studio IDE, see
Development Studio for LS series - ARM V8 ISA, Targeting
This document provides details of different board interfaces and explains how
to set up and boot the board.
