MPC-LS-VNP-EVB
The NXP MPC-LS VNP EVB brings
an advanced automotive gateway
solution using NXP’s MPC5748G
gateway microcontroller and LS1043A
communications processor SoCs.
The combination of a real-time
microcontroller with microprocessor
application pro-cessing enables
new gateway use cases and serviceoriented gateways. The complete
MPC-LS VNP EVB solution consists
of two boards - a Processor Module
and a Platform Board with automotive
and Ethernet interfaces. The modular
design of the MPC-LS VNP EVB
enables the processor module to
be swapped out in the future to
support future gateway solutions
using the same platform board.

module and platform board
For connecting, refer to the orientation of
boards shown in Figure 1.Refer to the MPCLS-VNP-EVB User Manual Section 5.1 for
board interconnectivity details.
2
Connect the
Power Supply
Connect power supply to the power jack of
the Platform Board and micro USB cable to
micro USB port on the MPC-LS Processor
Module. Make sure the DS1 and DS2 LEDs
for voltage levels 5V and 3.3V respectively
are glowing on the MPC-LS Processor
Module.
