Description

IC-PQ2-PMCb is powered by a MPC8270, being part of the PowerQUICCII processor family. This embedded processor couples a 603e core with a RISC communication processor and three Fast Ethernet controllers. This low power design, less than 3W with three Ethernet ports, makes system integration easier.

IC-PQ2-PMCb CPU board implements a 64bits PowerPC local bus. This local bus is usable by the host via the 32 bit-PCI bus through a PowerPC-to-PCI bridge.

IC-PQ2-PMCb can be used in three kinds of configuration : Monarch, Non-Monarch or in stand-alone mode. According to the application, the PMC processor module can be host or simple station.

IC-PQ2-PMCb provides three full-duplex 802.3 and Fast Ethernet controllers associated to three PHY 10/100TX interfaces. Each controller implements a local FIFO and DMA channel and supports the promiscuous mode. Theses channels are available on the rear I/O connector.

IC-PQ2-PMCb is specially designed for conduction cooled environment. A version with coating is available. A temperature sensor monitors the operational constraints. Surge protections implemented on each Ethernet lines make this board particularly fitted to harsh conditions.

IC-PQ2-PMCb provides four multi-purpose serial controllers (each with a data rate up to 10Mbits) on the Pn4 rear I/O or the reverse optional Pn3 connector. SPI and I²C bus are also available on these connectors. In addition Pn3 provides several GPIO. 

A specific engineering kit is available. It makes easier the utilization of the debug tools : JTAG/COP/Async RS232 port and external reset.

IC-PQ2-PMCb on-board firmware

IC’s on-board firmware is a comprehensive set of software stored in flash memory including:

IC_Boot

This module is called by the reset vector when the board is powered up. It initializes the PowerQUICCII, the memory controller, performs the Power on self tests, the module IC_Bios, before using the PCI bridge and jumping in different applications according to the values stored in memory.

IC_Bios

This module allows the user to access the specific IC-PQ2-PMCb hardware resources via an easy-to-use API. A set of about 60 libraries functions are provided.

IC_Tools

It is a firmware monitor which allows loading files from Ethernet via Bootp, running files in RAM or flashing them. In addition it permits to display or modify the RAM data. To end with, it enables the user to perform maintenance tests.

IC-BSP basic

These BSPs products are based on the standard distribution of the OS editor. They take in charge hardware initialization, interrupt handling and generation, hardware clock and timer services, memory management, PCI management, mapping of memory spaces, basic serial and Ethernet communications.

IC-Protocol Modules

These software provide optimized drivers with new functions for serial controllers : asynchronous with frame, HDLC/SDLC, Bisync, Transparent mode, Ethernet, PPP, etc. These communication drivers are designed to minimize the buffer’s copy.

Interface Concept provides BSP for VxWorks® and Linux® operating systems.
Other RTOS (LynxOS,...) can be ported on request.

Powerful software debugging tools for application development on IC-PQ2-PMCb board are available for OS supported in-house.

Host supported by Interface Concept are Linux® OS and VxWorks.
