Embedded Computing Development MPC8536E Reference Design Kit Integrated media and communications processor development system Overview The MPC8536E Reference Design Kit (MPC8536RDK) is a cost-effective hardware and software development platform for embedded applications. It brings together the CSB1801 uATX Carrier board and the CSB1880 CSB based on the COM Express form factor and Freescale’s highly integrated MPC8536E processor, built on Power Architecture® technology. The high level of integration in the MPC8536E processor is designed to help lower system costs, improve performance and simplify board design. CSB1880 CSB Based on COM Express Form Factor The CSB1880 was designed, developed and is manufactured by Cogent Computer Systems, Inc. It is a low-power, highperformance, network-oriented system based on the COM Express form factor. The CSB1880 provides a small, powerful and flexible engine for embedded Linux® based 10/100/1000 networking applications of all kinds. The CSB1880 has the following features: The MPC8536E processor supports: • 8 MB SPI serial flash memory for boot loader • Dual enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers (eTSEC) with IEEE® 1588 V2 • Multiple PCI Express ports supporting one x8, two x4, or one x4 and two x2 link widths ® • 32-bit PCI controller • Advanced power management controller • Three integrated USB controllers • Two integrated SATA controllers • Enhanced serial peripheral interface (eSPI) • Enhanced secure digital hardware controller (eSDHC) • 4-channel direct memory access (DMA) • Dual universal asynchronous receiver/ transmitter (DUART) • Serial peripherals • General purpose I/O • System timers The MPC8536E processor also integrates a hardware encryption block that supports different algorithms for high-performance data that is critical for supporting secure communications. The MPC8536RDK also supports the MPC8535E processor. • 1.25 GHz MPC8536E with 32 KB I-Cache, 32 KB D-Cache and 512 KB L2 Cache • 512 MB 64-bit DDR2-500 memory with ECC • 512 MB NAND flash memory • Bootable 4-bit SD/MMC Port (SDIO-compliant) • Three PCI Express ports configurable as one x8, two x4 or one x4 and two x2 • Dual RGMII to copper/SGMII (autoselect) PHY • Three 480 MB USB 2.0 ULPI PHYS • Two 4-wire TTL serial ports and one I2C port • Eight GPIO lines and four PCI interrupts • Standard 16-pin JTAG header for Power Architecture technology • Onboard MCF51QE32 IPM microcontroller for power sequencing, boot configuration, fan control and thermal monitoring • 0ºC to +70ºC operation with supplied heatsink • Low power consumption: <2W sleep, <4W typical, <8W max and <10mw power down (via 3.3V standby rail) • CSB Express compliant-derived from COM Express Type 3 pinout with Cogent enhancements • Compact size: 95 mm (3.75") x 95 mm (3.75") x 9 mm high (total height is 32 mm with heatsink) CSB1801 µATX Carrier Board The CSB1801 is designed, developed and manufactured by Cogent Computer Systems, Inc.
