Freescale Credit Card Size Module has Linux BSP

Latest PowerQUICC I module provides Ethernet 10/100

Embedded Planet has extended its line of credit card sized boards to include the latest PowerQUICC I processor from Freescale.

The EP88xS uses Freescale PowerQUICC I MPC885 and MPC880 processors to create a compact and powerful credit card sized single board computer module. The small form factor and expansion bus capability make the EP88xS the ideal board for implementing a cost-efficient yet powerful embedded CPU module so that you can take the CPU design out of your critical path and concentrate on your application specific hardware.

The MPC885 and MPC880 processors feature an integrated PowerPC core and Communications Processor Module (CPM) to provide a scalable computing solution for networked devices. The PowerPC core can run at speeds of 133MHz and provide general purpose control and computing functionality, while the dedicated CPM offloads communications functions such as USB, Fast Ethernet, HDLC, and ATM. In addition the MPC885 includes an integrated security engine to accelerate processing of encryption protocols such as AES, DES/3DES, and SHA/MD5/HMAC.

Features:

• Freescale MPC88x processor with up to 64MB of flash and 32MB SDRAM
• Connectivity: 1 10/100 Ethernet Port, 1 RS-232 Monitor Port, JTAG for Debug
• Serial I2C Devices: EEPROM, Temperature Sensor, and Real Time Clock
• Expansion: EBC Bus for direct access to processor signals and "pluggable" CPU module
• Support: PlanetCore Firmware (bootloader, flash programmer, and diagnostics), Linux and VxWorks BSPs
