Application Solutions

Loongson provides comprehensive industrial solutions based on the 2K1000 and 2K2000 embedded processors. These solutions include real-time control capabilities, rich industrial interfaces (CAN, RS-485, Ethernet), industrial temperature grade operation (-40°C to +85°C), and long-term availability (10+ years). The integrated peripherals reduce system complexity and BOM cost, while the LoongArch architecture ensures technology independence. Solutions are available for factory automation, process control, energy management, and building automation applications.

Contact our FAE team to discuss your industrial application requirements and evaluate Loongson solutions.

Choosing between Loongson desktop and embedded solutions depends on your application requirements. Desktop solutions based on the 3A5000/3C5000 are ideal for general-purpose computing, office productivity, software development, and server applications. They provide high performance, large memory support, and PCIe expansion. Embedded solutions based on the 2K series are optimized for industrial control, network appliances, and IoT gateways. They offer low power consumption, integrated peripherals, and industrial reliability. Consider factors including performance needs, power constraints, operating environment, and interface requirements when making your selection.

Define your application requirements and contact our technical team for solution recommendations.

Comprehensive support is available for Loongson solution development including: hardware reference designs and schematics, BSP (Board Support Package) with drivers and kernel, development tools and toolchain, technical documentation and application notes, FAE support for design review and debugging, and training programs for development teams. As an authorized distributor, we provide single-point-of-contact support coordinating with Loongson engineering for complex requirements. Custom design services are available for specialized applications.

Engage with our FAE team early in your design cycle for optimal support and guidance.

Loongson solutions can replace many existing x86 or ARM systems, particularly for applications where technology independence is a priority. For desktop and office applications, Loongson 3A5000-based systems provide equivalent functionality to x86 desktops for productivity tasks. For industrial control, 2K-series processors offer comparable performance to ARM-based industrial controllers with better supply security. Migration requires software porting for architecture-specific code, but most C/C++ applications compile without modification. We recommend evaluating your specific application requirements and conducting proof-of-concept testing before committing to migration.

Development timeline for Loongson-based solutions varies by complexity. Using reference designs and evaluation boards, initial prototyping can be completed in 4-8 weeks. Custom hardware design typically takes 3-6 months including schematic design, PCB layout, and fabrication. Software development and BSP customization run in parallel with hardware development. System integration and testing require 1-2 months. Production readiness including certifications and manufacturing setup takes an additional 2-3 months. Total time from concept to production ranges from 6-12 months depending on complexity and customization requirements.

Plan your development timeline with our FAE team to ensure all requirements are met.
