Enablement
The MPC8306-KIT is a cost-optimized
reference development kit for the MPC8306
processor. The kit consists of a carrier card
and processor-specific system on module
(SOM) card. The SOM interfaces with
peripherals through the carrier card. This same
carrier card can be used for the MPC8309
processor SOMs.The MPC830x-KIT board
- HDLC bus (bit rate up to 10 Mbps)
