Reference Platform Based on Power Architecture
MPC8308-RDB Reference Platform
Overview
The MPC8308-RDB reference platform is ideal
for hardware and software development for
embedded applications, including consumer
printers, wireless access points, industrial
control and factory automation equipment.
It leverages the low-cost MPC8308
PowerQUICC
processor, built on Power Architecture
technology, which is designed to meet the
requirements of several low-end embedded
networking applications with high-speed
peripherals while striving for low power
consumption and a small-footprint package
design. The MPC8308-RDB integrates
leading-edge external components: 5 x
Gigabit Ethernet ports, 1 x USB 2.0, x1 mini
PCI Express
card interface. The MPC8308 microprocessor
supports dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet
controllers, single-lane PCI Express, USB
2.0 controller, enhanced SDHC controller
for SD memory interface, dual universal
asynchronous receiver/transmitter (DUART),
serial peripherals, general-purpose I/O and
system timers. This high level of integration
in the MPC8308 processor helps to lower
overall system costs, improve performance
and simplify board design. The high-
speed peripheral mix, combined with cost
effectiveness, makes the MPC8308 processor
a unique offering in the marketplace.
The MPC8308-RDB incorporates a pre-
installed board support package (BSP)
containing a boot loader (u-boot)—a generic
Power Architecture technology system based
on the Linux
kernel reside in the on-board flash memory
and launch when the board is powered up.
