General Information
1.1
This document describes the MPC8572EAMC AdvancedMC (AMC). The MPC8572EAMC provides an
AdvancedMC debugging platform for engineers developing applications for the MPC8572E series of
Freescale Processors.
The MPC8572E family of processors is designed to offer clock speeds from 1.2 GHz up to 1.5 GHz,
combining two powerful e500 processor cores, enhanced peripherals and high-speed interconnect
technology to balance processor performance with I/O system throughput. These processors also include
a next-generation double data rate (DDR2/DDR3) memory controller, enhanced Gigabit Ethernet support,
double precision floating point and an integrated security engine that features updated advanced
encryption standard (AES) functionality.
The MPC8572EAMC single-width AdvancedMC board is designed around the dual-core feature set of the
MPC8572E microprocessor. Each integrated 32-bit wide DDR2/3 controller connects to a separate
1-GByte DDR2 SoCDIMM (2 GBytes in total). For control plane applications, two SGMII Ethernet ports
are connected to AdvancedMC ports 0 and 1. The other two SGMII Ethernet ports of the MPC8572E are
connected to the front panel of the card, as well as an additional 10/100 Fast Ethernet port. A dual USB
debug port and board reset switch, are also connected to the front card panel.
128 Mbytes of FLASH memory is available on the AdvancedMC for file/OS storage. AdvancedMC board
management is handled via a CorEdge™-enabled module management controller based around a
Freescale MCF5213. This provides the board with power sequencing, hot swap functionality, temperature
sensing, and FRU record storage.
Finally, high-speed Serial RapidIO™ links are connected from the MPC8572E to AdvancedMC ports
8–11 (and optionally, via resistor links to AdvancedMC ports 4–7). PCI-Express™ connectivity is
available on AdvancedMC ports 4–7 (PCI-Express functionality is mutually exclusive with Serial
RapidIO functionality on AdvancedMC ports 4–7).
1.2
There is one configuration for use with the MPC8572EAMC board, which is system development in an
AdvancedMC-compatible chassis.
1.2.1
The recommended procedure when configuring the MPC8572EAMC is to run the card using an ATCA,
MicroTCA, picoTCA or equivalent chassis. This allows the correct power and air flow to be delivered to
