Dev Kit Description
The MPC8544DS reference platform is ideal for hardware and software development for embedded applications. It leverages Freescale’s highly integrated MPC8544E processor built on Power Architecture™ technology and leading-edge external components.
The high level of integration in the MPC8544E helps to lower system costs, improve performance and simplify board design. The MPC8544E microprocessor supports dual-enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers (eTSEC), multiple PCI Express® ports (dual x 4 and a single x 1), a 32-bit PCI controller, 4-channel direct memory access (DMA), dual universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (DUART), serial peripherals, general purpose I/O and system timers. The MPC8544E also integrates a hardware encryption block that supports different algorithms for high-performance data that is critical for supporting secure communications. A board support package (BSP) is pre-installed on the MPC8544DS. This BSP consists of a boot loader (u-boot) and a generic Power Architecture™ technology system based on the Linux® kernel. The u-boot binary and the Linux kernel reside in the on-board flash memory with a file system pre-installed on the hard disk shipped in the MPC8544DS.
