MPC8349E-mITX
highly integrated reference platform
|
|
The MPC8349 reference board (MPC8349E-mITX) integrates the enhanced e300 PowerPC core and advanced features such as DDR memory, dual PCI, Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed USB controllers. The platform supports dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet controllers, dual 32-bit/single 64-bit PCI controllers, integrated security engines, USB 2.0 host and devices controllers, 4-channel DMA, DUART, serial peripherals, general purpose I/O and system timers. The high level of integration in the MPC8349E helps lower system costs, improves performance and simplifies board design. |
A board support package (BSP) is pre-installed on the
MPC8349E-mITX. This BSP consists of a bootloader (u-boot), a generic PPC
Linux-based system and associated file system. U-boot and the Linux kernel
reside in the on-board Flash memory while the File system is pre-installed on
the hard disk shipped with the MPC8349E-mITX. Upon power up, the Linux system is
running on the MPC8349E-mITX.
The MPC8349E-mITX BSP generation takes advantage of a tool
called the Linux Target Image Builder or LTIB. LTIB is a suite of tools that
leverages existing Open Source configuration scripts and source code packages
and bundles them all into a single BSP generation bundle. The source code
packages include boot loaders and Linux kernel sources as well as many
user-space source code packages to build a complete BSP. LTIB also provides
compiler packages required to build the BSP. Freescale developers use LTIB to
create BSPs for a multitude of Freescale development targets. LTIB leverages as
much BSP elements as possible for all Freescale targets that are supported while
offering the flexibility required to customize, as necessary, components that
require platform specific modifications.
Application
The MPC8349E PowerQUICC II Pro Family is designed to provide a cost-effective, highly integrated control processing solution that addresses the emerging needs of networking, communications and pervasive computing applications. MPC8349E processors can be used in applications such as Ethernet routers and switches, wireless LAN (WLAN) equipment, network storage, home network appliances, industrial control equipment, and copiers, printers and other imaging systems.
