Freescale PowerPC PowerQuicc-II MPC8272
The LinuxLink software distribution model enables the usage of the MPC8272 LinuxLink for development targeting all designs based on MPC8272 processor. The MPC8272 family is well suited for networking equipment requiring encryption capabilities, such as small and medium enterprise (SME) routers, virtual private network (VPN) and firewall routers, wireless access points and residential gateways, as well as imaging, industrial control, and test and measurement equipment.
Processor derivatives enabled:
The MPC8272 LinuxLink can also be used as a starting point for Linux development for designs based on the MPC8247, MPC8248, and MPC8271 processors.
Reference boards/OEM boards enabled:
The MPC8272 LinuxLink can also be used as a starting point for Linux development for designs derived from:
Notes:
Complete peripheral support for MPC8272 derived integrated processors, or board support for other reference designs, might need to be sourced from manufacturers of the respective processors or reference boards.
Processor Overview
The MPC8272 series of devices is a member of the PowerQUICC II family of integrated communications processors. The series includes the MPC8272, the MPC8248, the MPC8271, and the MPC8247.
Each processor includes a 32-bit PowerPC (G2_LE, MPC603e) core that incorporates memory management units (MMUs) and instruction and data caches that implement the PowerPC instruction set; a modified communications processor module (CPM); and an integrated security engine (SEC) for encryption (on the MPC8272 and the MPC8248 only).
