ESD precautions while using the LS1028ARDB?

[acentauri92]

Hi all,

I wanted to know if there are any ESD precautions I need to follow while using the LS1028ARDB boards. Correct me if I am wrong, but these boards are designed to be used in Industrial environments so I am assuming that they do not need to be handled with any ESD precautions.

Any documentation regarding how to handle and store these boards would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

The QorIQ® LS1028A reference design board (LS1028ARDB) is a computing, evaluation, development, and test platform
supporting the QorIQ LS1028A processor,

The LS1028ARDB can be used to develop and demonstrate human machine interface systems, industrial control systems such
as robotics controllers and motion controllers, and PLCs. The reference design also provides the functionality needed for Industrial
IoT gateways, edge computing, industrial PCs, and wireless or wired networking gateways.

Developers using the LS1028ARDB can perform standard debugging tasks, such as:

• Upload and run code
• Set breakpoints
• Display memory and registers
• Connect and incorporate proprietary hardware into target systems using the LS1028A as a host processor
• Use the LS1028ARDB as a demonstration tool

The LS1028ARDB was not designed to be directly used in any Industrial environments so it need to be handled with all ESD precautions.
