This document describes the MPC8349E MDS Processor Board, in its stand-alone operating
mode, in addition to its operating mode via a PCI slot in a PC, or its operating mode on the
“PowerQUICC MDS Platform I/O Board (PIB)”.
1.1.1MPC8349E MDS Processor Board
The MPC8349E MDS Processor Board is an ADS that provides a complete debugging
environment for engineers developing applications for the MPC8349 series of Freescale
processors.
1
The MPC8349E is a cost-effective, general purpose integrated host processor that implements the
PowerPC™ architecture required for networking infrastructure, telecommunications, Wireless
LANs, and other embedded applications. The MPC8349E can also be used for control processing
in applications such as network routers and switches, mass storage subsystems, network
appliances, and print and imaging systems.
The MPC8349E MDS Processor Board includes various peripherals, such as data input/output
devices (GETH, USB, DUART), memories (DDR, SDRAM (optional), Serial EEPROM,
PSRAM (optional) & FLASH and BCSR’s registers), and control switches and LED indicators.
Using its on-board resources and debugging devices, a developer is able to upload code, run the
code, set breakpoints, display memory & registers and connect his own proprietary hardware to
be incorporated into a target system that uses the MPC8349E as a processor.
The software application developed for the MPC8349 can be run in a "bare bones" operation
(with only the MPC8349 processor), or with various input or output data streams, such as from
the GETH connection, PCI or the USB connections. Results can be analyzed using the Code
War ri or
data stream. The BSP is built using the Linux OS.
This board can also be used as a demonstration tool for the developer. For instance, the
developer's application software may be programmed into its Flash memory and run in
exhibitions.
®
debugger in addition to using other methods for directly analyzing the input or output
The MPC8349E MDS Processor Board can be run in a stand-alone mode, like other ADS’s, with
direct connections to deubggers (via a JTAG/COP connector and JTAG/Parallel Port command
converter), power supply, and the GETH, MiniAB USB and Dual RS-232 (DUART) connections.
In this mode, the MPC8349E MDS Processor Board acts as a Host.
1.1.2.2 With PIB board (PIB Combined Mode):
The MPC8349E MDS Processor Board can be connected to the PIB, which allows it to be used in
a back plane, and provides room and connections for an additional USB board, and up to three
additional PCI cards. Each of the PCI cards provides a connection interface for an optional
additional processor board (from the MPC83xx family). This capability allows the MPC8349
processor on the MPC8349E MDS Processor Board to act as a master for up to three “slave”
processors in the MPC83xx family. In this mode, the MPC8349E MDS Processor Board acts as a
Host.
Voltage is provided by the PIB, which also provides additional signal connections via the back
plane (if used), and optical GETH connectors on the front plane side of the PIB. The MPC8349E
MDS Processor Board can be connected to a PC in this configuration (via a parallel port
connector), without needing an external command converter.
1.1.2.3 PCI Add-On (Agent Mode):
Using its PCI edge connector, the MPC8349E MDS Processor Board can be inserted in a PC.
Power and debugging are supplied from the PC (no command converter necessary). Other
external connections are the same as in the Stand-Alone Mode. In this mode, the MPC8349E
MDS Processor Board acts as an Agent.
Power requirements5V @ 3A external DC power supply (Stand-Alone
Mode). No extra power supply for Agent Mode &
PIB Combined Mode.
In the case of the Agent Mode, power is supplied
by the PC; In the PIB Combined Mode (a Host
mode), either an external power supply provides
power, OR power is supplied from the back plane
connection.

This chapter provides unpacking instructions, hardware preparation, and installation instructions
for the MPC8349E MDS Processor Board, including all three configurations: Stand-Alone, PIB
Combined Mode, and Agent Mode (inserted in a PC). For more details on hardware preparation,
see the “Getting Started” document for the MPC8349E MDS Processor Board.
2.1Unpacking Instructions
NOTE
If the shipping carton is damaged upon receipt,
request carrier’s agent to be present during
unpacking and inspection of equipment.
CAUTION
AVOID TOUCHING AREAS OF
INTEGRATED CIRCUITRY; STATIC
DISCHARGE CAN DAMAGE CIRCUITS.
1. Unpack equipment from shipping carton.
2. Refer to packing list and verify that all items are present.
3. Save packing material for storing and reshipping of equipment.
2.2Installation Instructions
Do the following in order to install the MPC8349E MDS Processor Board properly:
1. Verify that Jumpers and Swtiches are in default positions. For default positions, see the
“Getting Started” document for the MPC8349E MDS Processor Board.
2. Determine in which working configuration you will operate the MPC8349E MDS
Processor Board:
-Stand-Alone - continue from Section 2.2.1
-PIB Combined Mode, with the PIB Board - continue from Section 2.2.2
-Agent Mode (installed in a PC) - continue from Section 2.2.3
1. For Stand-Alone Mode only: Connect the four plastic spacers. See Figure 2-1 and Figure
2-2 .
2. Connect external cables in accordance with your laboratory environment.
3. Connect PSU (to P11), and turn the power on-off switch to ON.
4. Verify that LD1 and LD2 turn on and turn off (see Figure 2-3 for location). They should be
on for only a few moments. This indicates that the board has successfully completed the
boot-up sequence. (
6. If you will be working with a back plane, and wish GETH signals to traverse either the
back plane connection, or the front plane optical connection, connect the two GETH
sockets on the MPC8349E MDS Processor Board with sockets on the PIB board as shown
in Figure 2-8 and Figure 2-9.
Note that if you do not do this, you can still connect GETH cables directly to the Processor
board’s sockets, if they are accessible in your laboratory configuration.
