Processor derivatives enabled:
The MPC8360 LinuxLink can also be used as a starting point for Linux development for designs based on the MPC8358E processors.
Reference boards/OEM boards enabled:
The MPC8360 LinuxLink can also be used as a starting point for Linux development for designs derived from Freescale’s MPC8360EMDS.
Notes:
Complete peripheral support for MPC8360E 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
Freescale Semiconductor’s MPC8360E PowerQUICC II Pro family of integrated communications processors is a next-generation extension of the popular PowerQUICC II line. Based on a system-on-chip (SoC) architecture, the MPC8360E PowerQUICC II Pro Family integrates the enhanced e300 PowerPC core and advanced features, such as DDR memory, Dual Gigabit Ethernet, Dual PCI and Hi-Speed USB controllers. With clock speeds scaling to 667 MHz, the MPC8360E family of processors offers the highest performing PowerQUICC II devices available.
The MPC8360E PowerQUICC II Pro Family is designed to provide a cost-effective, highly integrated control processing solution that addresses the emerging needs of networking, communications and pervasive computing applications. MPC8349E processors can be used in applications such as Ethernet routers and switches, wireless LAN (WLAN) equipment, network storage, home network appliances, industrial control equipment, and copiers, printers and other imaging systems. The MPC8360E integrates a e300 PowerPC core, and other features such as DDR memory, Dual Gigabit Ethernet, Dual PCI and Hi-Speed USB controllers. It includes 64 KB L1 cache (32KB D + 32KB I) with integrated parity checking.

Boards and Reference Distributions
The MPC8360E MDS Processor Board includes various peripherals, such as data input/output devices (GETH, USB, DUART), memories (DDR, SDRAM (optional)), Serial EEPROM, PSRAM (optional) & FLASH and BCSR (registers), and control switches and LED indicators.
The MPC8360E MDS Processor Board can be run in a stand-alone mode, like other ADS, with direct connections to deubggers (via a JTAG/COP connector and JTAG/Parallel Port command converter), power supply, and the GETH, MiniAB USB and Dual RS-232 (DUART) connections. In this mode, the MPC8360E MDS Processor Board acts as a host.
