MPC8315E-RDB Reference Design Board
 |
Overview
The MPC8315 reference platform ( MPC8315E-RDB) is ideal for hardware and software development of the 2-drive consumer network attached storage (NAS) and the digital media server. The MPC8315E-RDB is a system featuring the powerful PowerQUICC™ II Pro processor, which includes a built-in security accelerator. This low-cost, high-performance system solution consists of a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly known as the MPC8315E-RDB Board, plus a board support package (BSP), distributed in a CD image. This BSP enables fastest possible time-to-market for development or integration of applications including home NAS and NAS+WAN gateway. |

MPC8315E processor
The increased internet broadcast and downloads for personal
and premium content is driving a need for a secure highly integrated platform
to multimedia distribution within the home. The MPC8315E provides a high
performance Power Architecture™ e300 core up to 400MHz with 16K I/D L1 cache,
and integrated x2 SATA controllers that help to reduce overall BOM cost. The
System on a Chip (SoC) also includes two Gigabit Ethernet controllers for
network connectivity, two x1 PCI-Express lanes, TDM interface for VoIP, High
Speed USB 2.0 with PHY integrated and security engine for encryption algorithm
offload. The MPC8315E, based in 90nm process technology, provides high
integration that simplifies board design and provides a cost effect solution
for critical applications such as network attached storage.
