MPL Industrial PC with Freescale PowerPC™ Processor
The MIP470 is a highly integrated industrial single board computer in PC/104 form factor. Build around the
MPC8347 Freescale PowerPC™ Processor it is well suited for applications requiring small size, high
performance and Low Power. The MIP470 can be used in a standard operating environment without the
necessity of a fan.
All major components required to build a industrial PC system are implemented on a single PC/104 sized
board. It features two E-IDE, two 10/100/1000Base TX Ethernet, two USB Ports, four serial ports, and a real
time clock. The PC/104+ (PCI) interface offers easy and flexible expansion capabilities.
Integration of the MIP470 into a system is facilitated by the fact of offering standard connectors E-IDE (44
pin header) and LAN (RJ45). The serial interfaces can be accessed through 2mm 10pin headers. Particular
precaution has been taken to the EMC so that an entire system can fulfill the CE and FCC requirements.
The DDR SDRAM is soldered on board and is available with ECC.
All these features make the MIP470 to the ideal solution for any low-cost embedded control application
where a flexible industrial PC is needed.
Features
● Low Power Freescale MPC8347 CPU with
FPU
● Processor clock up to 400 MHz
● Up to 512MByte ECC DDR SDRAM soldered
on board.
● Up to 64MByte Flash on board
● 2 x Integrated 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet
Controller
• PC/104 Plus PCI only interface
• 2 x USB 2.0 Ports
• Two EIDE HDD ports
• Four RS232 ports
• Low power consumption

USERS MANUAL
1. Introduction
1.1 About this manual
This manual assists the installation and initialization procedure by providing all hardware related information necessary
to handle and configure the MIP470.
For all Bootloader related information please refer to the “U-Boot User Manual for MPL SBC (MEH-10082-002)” supplied
by MPL AG or your local MIP470 supplier. The U-Boot User Manual for MPL SBC” is also available on the Internet under
http://www.mpl.ch in PDF format.
The manual is written for technical personnel responsible for integrating the MIP470 into their system.
1.2 MIP470 Variants
Since the MIP470 is available in various population options, the information in this Manual about Memory size, Processor
speed etc. may vary with your MIP470. The table below lists the actual (as of December 2005) variants, for an actual
table please consult http://www.mpl.ch.
Variants CPU DDR SDRAM Flash Temperature Range
