MPC8572 development platform

(MPC8572 processor card + Type-N/A carrier)

             MPC8572PC+Type-N Carrier                                MPC8572PC + Type-A Carrier

Overview

To help the network equipment manufacturers simplify the system design and establish the Intelligent Network application, MICETEK provides a more quick and convenience solution of development board based on Freescale MPC8572 processor, which consists of a reusable MPC8572 processor card and two kinds of carriers for different applications. Combined with MPC8572PC, Type-N carrier can be used for Network Communication application, while Type-A for ATCA/MicroTCA chassis. It reduces the design cycle and saves the investment for the designer.

Advantages of Using the MPC8572PC

1 Flexibility

2 Shortening of the design cycle

3 Reusability

4 Ease of Debug

5 Standardized reference
