Freescale Development Tools CodeWarrior MPC8548 QUICCstart System Overview At the heart of this board is the Freescale MPC8548 PowerQUICC III processor. The MPC8548 is a highly integrated system-onchip SoC platform that includes an e500 PowerPC core, integrated security engine, PCI Express, Serial RapidIO, and Gigabit Ethernet controllers, as well as an integrated DDR2 memory interface. The highly integrated SoC architecture improves system performance, simplifies board design, lowers power consumption, and reduces cost. The 8548 QUICCstart System is a single-width, full-height AMC processor board with a low power, highperformance Freescale MPC8548 processor operating at 1.0GHz. In addition to its AMC configuration, this system can also operate as a standalone module and boot from the onboard flash, thereby allowing for rapid application development outside of the integrated ATCA or MicroTCA environment. With the provided CodeWarrior CDs and Linux support, the 8548 QUICCstart is built for development of a broad range of applications such as in wireless base stations, media gateways, enterprise network access systems, test and measurement systems, and server blades. For fabric connectivity, this system is compliant with the AMC.4 specification for Serial RapidIO fabric interfaces. With flexibility in mind, PCI Express and Gigabit Ethernet connections are also routed to the AMC connector to simplify testing and integration of additional SERDES interfaces. The QUICCstart MPC8548 Evaluation System comes complete with the AMC processor board, power supply, auxiliary fan, CodeWarrior USB TAP run control device, cables, and evaluation copies of CodeWarrior tools for PowerPC and Linux. A Linux board support package is also supplied on CD and flashed to the board. This evaluation system has been packaged so that you can be productive within 30 minutes of unpacking the kit.
