NEW Freescale MPC8315E-RDB Reference Platform
Freescale Semiconductor MPC8315E-RDB Reference Platform
The MPC8315E-RDB reference platform is ideal for hardware and software development of the two-drive consumer network attached storage (NAS) and the digital media server. The cost-effective MPC8315E communications processor family meets the requirements of several small office/home office (SOHO), triple-play converged residential gateway and industrial control applications.
It leverages Freescale's highly integrated MPC8315E processor built on Power Architecture technology and leading-edge external components 2 x Gigabit Ethernet, 4 x USB, 2 x Serial ATA (SATA), dual Legerity SLIC, PCI Express , mini Express Connector and an Ethernet connection to broadband powerline capability using DS2. The high level of integration in the MPC8315E helps to lower overall system costs, improve performance and simplify board design.
The MPC8315E microprocessor supports dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet controllers, single 64-bit PCI controller, 2 x PCI Express, integrated security engine, USB 2.0 with PHY integrated, 4-channel direct memory access (DMA), dual universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (DUART), serial peripherals, general-purpose I/O and system timers. The introduction of Gigabit Ethernet (SGMII), high-speed USB 2.0, and low-power management makes it unique in the marketplace.
A board support package (BSP) is pre-installed on the MPC8315E-RDB. This BSP includes a bootloader (u-boot) a generic Power Architecture technology system based on the Linux kernel. The u-boot and the Linux kernel reside in the on-board flash memory.
* CPU: Freescale MPC8315E running at 400/266 MHz (CPU/DDR2)
* Ethernet: 2 Gigabit RGMII connections directly to PHY and one Ethernet connection to broadband powerline capability using DS2
* PCI Express: PCI Express add-in connector and MiniPCI Express for WLAN
* SATA: Two standard SATA connectors and eSATA will be available through SATA-eSATA connectors
* SPI/TDM connected to dual Legerity SLIC/SLAC
* I2C: Connected to real-time clock and may be eliminated using the MCU
* Dual UART: Connectors for debug connectivity and extra header (compliant to MPC832x RDB) for Bluetooth /ZigBee future connectivity
* Local bus: NAND flash/NOR flash memory
* High-speed USB: Connector directly on board and 3-port USB hub
* PCI: One standard and one and MiniPCI connector
* Memory: 32-bit DDR2 with population option for 16-bit
