The MPC8568E Modular Development System is designed for hardware and software developers using the MPC8568E PowerQUICC™ III family to accelerate development and testing, and improve time to market. The MPC8568E MDS enables:

• Silicon bring-up/verification
• Software/application development and support
• Performance benchmarking
• Customer evaluation

The MPC8568E MDS consists of multiple boards that provide a comprehensive development system—an MPC8568 processor board, a platform I/O board and several expansion modules, adding support for a TDM, ATM or PCI agent.

MPC8568E Processor Board

The MPC8568E Processor Board includes an MPC8568E processor running up to 1.33 GHz, along with circuitry to utilize the following:

• 4x Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and dual asynchronous receiver/transmitter (DUART)
• PCI Express®
• Peripheral component interconnect (PCI)
• Serial RapidIO®
• Double data rate (DDR) memory
• Serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM)
• Control switches and light emitting diode (LED) indicators

Platform I/O Board (PIB)

The Platform I/O Board is an enablement platform allowing the user to add additional PHY or other modules for evaluation with the processor board (PB):

• Supports up to four PCI-based PMC form factor slots
• PMC off-the-shelf modules can be connected to the PB via the PIB
• The PIB is an AdvancedTCA® form factor for users who want to install it into an AdvancedTCA chassis
• Serial RapidIO®
• The PIB includes support for:
  • 2x optical Gigabit Ethernet
  • 8x MII 10/100 Base-T Fast Ethernet
• Supports the MPC83xx PB and all PMC modules provided by Freescale

PMC Expansion Modules

• PQ-MDS-PCIEXP - Expansion module supporting multiple PCI Agents
• PQ-MDS-PMCPCIE - Single-slot PMC to PCI agent connector to enable additional PCI-based boards for evaluation
• PQ-MDS-QOC3 - Supports up to 4x 155 Mbps optical transceivers for evaluating the Utopia L2 /POS bus
• PQ-MDS-T1 - Supports E1/T1, DS3, T3 I/F with an option of two POTS analog telephone lines
