NXP SemiconductorsMCEVALHPCN8641DEmbedded System Development Boards and Kits

HPCN is a high-performance computing, evaluation and development platform supporting the MPC8641D dual-core processor built on Power Architecture® technology, as well as the MPC8641 single-core version.

HPCN’s official designation is “HPCN”, and may be ordered using part number MCEVALHPCN-8641D.

HPCN is optimized to support the high-bandwidth memory ports for each processor core, as well as the two PCI-Express® ports, one dedicated for graphics or other slot-based cards, and the other dedicated for Linux® I/O with the ULI south-bridge.

The system is primarily a development and evaluation system, which is enhanced by its modular design, making it highly configurable.

HPCN is designed to the micro-ATX form-factor standard, allowing it to be used in 1U or 2U rack-mount chassis’, as well as in a standard ATX/Micro-ATX chassis. It is preloaded with U-boot and CodeWarrior Linux BSP.
