MPC8536-ADK Platform Hardware
The MPC8536-ADK platform builds on
the MPC8536RDK. It brings together the
CSB1801 uATX carrier board and the
CSB1880 CSB, based on the COM Express
form factor, providing a cost-effective
hardware and software development
platform for embedded Android application
prototyping. The CSB1880 module provides
additional flexibility for direct purchase
of the module from Cogent Computer
Systems to accelerate time to market,
while an application-specific carrier board
is developed.

CSB1880 CSB based on the COM Express
form factor includes:
• 1.25 GHz MPC8536E processor
• 512 MB 64-bit DDR2-500 memory
• 1 GB NAND flash memory
• Standard 16-pin JTAG
CSB1801 μATX carrier board includes:
• Flex/MicroATX form factor
• High-speed 440-pin CSB Express
• Three x16 PCI Express connectors

Mentor Graphics Development System
for Android OS
The Mentor Graphics Development System
for Android OS extends the MPC8536-ADK
platform with the essential tools developers
need to build unique and compelling
commercial products. Mentor Graphics adds
new technology not found in the MPC8536-
ADK platform that can:
• Improve application performance: e500 core
• Use existing C/C++ code: integrate C/C++
• Adapt Android OS to custom hardware:
• Save on BOM cost: recompiling Android
To assist in customer development and
time to market, Mentor Graphics also offers
professional services around Android OS
porting, integration, application development
and driver optimizations. For more
