Freescale PowerPC PowerQuicc-III MPC8560
The LinuxLink software distribution model enables the usage of the MPC8560 LinuxLink for development targeting all designs based on MPC8560 processor. The PowerQUICC™ III MPC8560 is a versatile one-chip integrated microprocessor and peripheral combination that can be used in a variety of controller applications, excelling particularly in communications and networking products.
Processor derivatives enabled:
The MPC8560 LinuxLink can also be used as a starting point for Linux development for designs based on the MPC8540 processor.
Reference boards/OEM boards enabled:
The MPC8560 LinuxLink can also be used as a starting point for Linux development for designs derived from:
Notes:
Complete peripheral support for MPC8560 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 MPC8560 PowerQuicc III(TM) comprises a communications processor module (CPM) that integrates many high-speed communications interfaces and related protocols. In addition to a CPM, the MPC8560 also includes the e500 high-performance embedded core processor with 256 KB of level-2 cache. Coupled with the CPM and the e500 core are two triple speed Ethernet controllers (TSEC), a 64-bit PCI/PCI-X controller, a RapidIO interface, and a DDR SDRAM memory controller.
The MPC8540 processor can be viewed as a subset of the MPC8560. The MPC8540 processor has the same features as the MPC8560 processor, except that in place of the CPM functionality, the MPC8540 has a DUART interface and a 10/100 Ethernet port for debugging.
