MPC837x Modular Development System (MDS)

The MPC837x Modular Development System (MDS) assists designers by providing a platform for system development based on the MPC837x family. This platform enables designers to bring up silicon, develop new software applications and do performance benchmarking. It can also be used for customer evaluation and demonstration purposes in a wide variety of applications, such as networking, printing and storage.The MPC837x MDS is built on Power Architecture™ technology and supports the MPC8377, MPC8378 and MPC8379. The MPC837x family has an e300 core that ranges from 400-667 MHz with 32K data and instruction cache, and supports two Gigabit Ethernets, USB 2.0, PCI, 64-/32-bit DDR1/2 and a Security Engine. The MPC8377 also supports x2 PCI Express® and 2 SATA controllers, while the MPC8378 supports x2 PCI Express and 2 SGMII, and the MPC8379 supports 4 SATA controllers. The MPC837x MDS provides a flexible modular development system that allows system designers to take advantage of the highly integrated, high-performance MPC837x family.The MPC837x MDS comes complete with a processor board and high-speed serial interface (HSSI) cards that support PCI Express, SATA and/or SGMII. The MPC837x MDS also has the ability to be connected to a PowerQUICC® platform I/O board (PIB) or a PCI extender board that allows it to act as either a PCI host or device.
