1 Introduction

The MPC8309KIT helps user in quickly getting familiar
with external connection and making the MPC8309KIT
setup. It has a two-board system: one processor board, also
called SOM, featuring the PowerQUICC processor,
MPC8309, and memory interfaces and the other a carrier
card that consists of external world interfaces terminated on
connector/header.

External Cable Connection for SOM Stand-alone

This figure shows the Jumper settings on Header J3 for either NOR boot mode or NAND boot mode.

Figure 3. NOR & NAND Boot Mode Jumper Settings

This figure shows the mounting options for configuring KA2 into RUN mode and PROGRAM mode.

DPR

This three-pad components’ footprint provide options to mount/short link jumper on two adjacent pads.
You can select one of the two options by connecting two pads. Ensure that both the DPRs are configured
for the same option.

Before powering on the board, note the following:

• The on-board KA2 microcontroller is already flashed with the microcontroller reset program; thus,
the microcontroller programming switch (if reworked on board) must be in “off” position (that is,
the notch of the connector must not be towards “DOT”).

3 External Cable Connection for SOM Stand-alone

Make the following external cable connection to start using the SOM card in stand-alone mode:

• 5 V DC power adapter

• CAT5 cable for the network connectivity

• UART connection for the debug console with the PC
