This document describes the MSC8156EVM and its related
hardware kit. The MSC8156EVM getting started procedure
explains and verifies the board’s basic operation in a
step-by-step format. Settings for switches, jumpers, LEDs,
and push buttons are shown. There are also instructions for
connecting the EVM to your development/debug platform
with CodeWarrior IDE installed.
The MSC8156EVM functions with an integrated
development environment (IDE), such as Freescale
CodeW arrior IDE. Inst ructions for working with the IDE are
beyond the scope of this document.

# Type Description Function
J2 Header (3-pin) 12V FAN • Provides power for on-socket fan.
J3 Socket (Ty pe B) USB2.0 • USB2.0 interface
J4 Header (10-pin) DPI • MPC866 debug port connector

P1 Header (14-pin) OnCE • OnCE connector for external UTAP
P2 Power Connector 12V • External power supply
P3 Edge Connector PCIe Backplane • SerDes high-speed connector
The following list provides brief descriptions of how the connectors are used:
• J2. Provides power to the on-socket fan.
• J3. Provides the default connection between the host PC and the MSC8156EVM for debugging and
configuration purposes. Connects to the onboard UTAP.
• J4. Provides an MPC866 debug port connection.
• J5. Used to connect the DDR3 SODIMM.
• J6. The gigabit Ethernet port 1 connection. This port can be connected to the host PC or other
Ethernet connection to use for boot over Ethernet or other device configuration operations.
• J7. The gigabit Ethernet port 2 connection. This port can be connected to the host PC or other
Ethernet connection to use for boot over Ethernet or other device configuration operations.
• P1. The alternate connection between the host PC and the MSC8156EVM for debugging and
configuration purposes. This interface requires the use of an external device, such as a USB T AP,
to transform the Host interface to JTAG signals that connects through a 14-pin ribbon cable.
• P2. Provides a connection to the external 12 V power supply.
• P3: Provides a connection to a PCI Express board only. The PCI Express edge connector is
designed to connect one of the two SerDes ports (SerDes2) of the MSC8156 device. The four
SerDes2 lanes can be configured to support serial RapidIO (1x/2x/4x), PCI Express (1x/2x/4x), or
SGMII connections. When connected, the PCI Express interface can supply the 12 V power for the
MSC8156EVM, which is enabled when S1 is in the OFF position. The connector is designed to
conform to several QorIQ development platforms from Freescale Semiconductor. Contact your
Freescale sales office for more information. Basic drivers are provided as part of the SmartDSP OS
software shipped with the CodeWarrior IDE and the EVM update software. The software is
delivered as an enablement intended for use by customers to develop applications.
NOTE
The PCI Express edge connector is not PCIMIG certified.

Getting Started Procedure
10 Getting Started Procedure
Use the following steps to set up and initial the EVM:
1. Review the kit contents as listed in Section 4 Hardware Kit Contents and make sure you have all the
components.
2. Review the default switch settings as listed in Section 5 DIP Switch Location Default Settings and
verify that all switches on the board are set correctly.
3. Review the jumper settings as listed in Section 7 Jumper Default Settings and verify that all jumpers
are set correctly for your desired configuration.
4. Assemble and connect the 12 V power supply (see Figure 5) using the following steps:
a) Make sure that all power is turned off.
b) Assemble the AC/DC power supply kit, as follows:
— Attach the power cable with the country-specific wall output plug for your area.
— Attach the cable with the plug for the board connection.
c) Connect the AC/DC power supply cable to the 12 V (P5) board jack.
d) Plug the power cable into the wall outlet.
5. Referring to the information listed in Section 6 Power Switch and Push Buttons and Section 9 LED
Indicators, perform the initial power up and check using the following steps:
a) Move the power switch (S1) to the ON position, and check for completion of the PRESET
sequence; LEDs 3 (12V POWER) and LED 1 (POWER GOOD) display a constant green light.
b) Power the system off by moving the power switch (S1) to the OFF position.

Next Steps
11 Next Steps
The procedures in this document describe the basic hardware setup. Once board operation is verified, you
can proceed to download the Freescale CodeW arrior IDE software to your host PC. See the MSC8156EVM
Software Installation Guide included on the kit documentation CD.
Once the software is set up, you can connect the USB cable between the MSC8156EVM J13 and the
development platform (PC or laptop, for example) with the CodeWarrior software installed to begin the
configuration and debugging process. Alternately , you can use the alternate debugging connection through
an external USB tap connected through a 14-pin ribbon cable to the 14-ping OnCE/JTAG header on the
board. Further instructions for running a debug session are provided in the application note Configuring a
CodeWarrior for StarCore DSPs Project for the MSC8156EVM Board (AN4229) included on your
documentation CD.
You may configure the MSC8156 to use the Ethernet ports (J6 and J7). A single Ethernet cable is supplied
with the EVM to allow connection between the EVM and an external Ethernet switch. An Ethernet
crossover cable (not supplied) can be used for a direct connection to an Ethernet port on an external PC,
for example. Basic Ethernet drivers are provided as part of the SmartDSP OS software shipped with the
CodeW arrior IDE and the EVM update software. This software is delivered as an enablement, intended for
use by customers to develop applications.
