The MPC8568E Modular Development System is designed for hardware and software developers using the MPC8568E PowerQUICC® III family to accelerate development and testing, and improve time to market. The MPC8568E MDS enables:

  • Silicon bring-up/verification
  • Software/application development and support
  • Performance benchmarking
  • Customer evaluation

The MPC8568E MDS consists of multiple boards that provide a comprehensive development system—an MPC8568 processor board, a platform I/O board and several expansion modules, adding support for a TDM, ATM or PCI agent.

MPC8568E Processor Board

The MPC8568E Processor Board includes an MPC8568E processor running up to 1.33 GHz, along with circuitry to utilize the following:

  • 4x Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and dual asynchronous receiver/transmitter (DUART)
  • PCI Express®
  • Peripheral component interconnect (PCI)
  • Serial RapidIO®
  • Double data rate (DDR) memory
  • Serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM)
  • Control switches and light emitting diode (LED) indicators

Platform I/O Board (PIB)

The Platform I/O Board is an enablement platform allowing the user to add additional PHY or other modules for evaluation with the processor board (PB):

  • Supports up to four PCI-based PMC form factor slots
  • PMC off-the-shelf modules can be connected to the PB via the PIB
  • The PIB is an AdvancedTCA® form factor for users who want to install it into an AdvancedTCA chassis
  • Serial RapidIO®
  • The PIB includes support for:
    • 2x optical Gigabit Ethernet
    • 8x MII 10/100 Base-T Fast Ethernet
  • Supports the MPC83xx PB and all PMC modules provided by NXP®

PMC Expansion Modules

  • PQ-MDS-PCIEXP - Expansion module supporting multiple PCI Agents
  • PQ-MDS-PMCPCIE - Single-slot PMC to PCI agent connector to enable additional PCI-based boards for evaluation
  • PQ-MDS-QOC3 - Supports up to 4x 155 Mbps optical transceivers for evaluating the Utopia L2 /POS bus
  • PQ-MDS-T1 - Supports E1/T1, DS3, T3 I/F with an option of two POTS analog telephone lines

Product Details

Features

Memory
