Tech First Kit-Freescale-MPC8360E-RDK-MPU-Dev Kit

The Reference Design Kit (MPC8360E-RDK ) highlights the capabilities of the MPC83xx PowerQUICC® processors for applications that require high-performance connectivity and determinism. The platform supports graphics and touch screen capability in addition to popular interfaces such as Ethernet, 64-bit PCI controllers, UARTS, integrated security engine, USB, SPI, I2C, and (GPIO) pins. The platform ships with a Linux® board support package, bootloader, production-ready protocols for evaluation, and is supported by Freescale CodeWarrior® tools, Wind River Linux and VxWorks® and Green Hills INTEGRITY®/velOSity™. The protocols include: EtherNet/IP™ and DeviceNet™ which is licensable from Real Time Automation, ETHERNET Powerlink and IEEE® 1588 which are licensable from IXXAT. Additional protocols are under development for this platform. This platform utilizes the industry-standard COM-Express module for the MPC8360 microprocessor which allows for future MPC83xx modules to be offered for this development environment.
