IC-PQ2p-PMCa is a PrPMC mezzanine card, based on the Motorola Power QUICC IIpro—MPC8349E. It is designed to provide the highest level of performance with a low-power consumption.

The PowerQUICC IIpro is a high-performance embedded e300 core (formerly 603e or G2) PowerPC core. The e300 core is completely software-compatible with existing 603e core-based product.


IC-PQ2p-PMCa can be used in conjunction with CompactPCI, VME carriers or proprietary design. Many highly integrated applications can be used on-board :

  • Processor with high performance and I/O throughput
  • Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for high performance network connectivity or redundancy with failsafe links
  • Line cards
  • Industrial control, etc.

Description

IC-PQ2p-PMCa is powered by a MPC8349E, being part of the PowerQUICCII processor family. It integrates a double-precision floating point unit. This e300 is a 32-bit superscalar core that provides 1260 MIPS at 667MHz. It also integrates 2 * 32KB L1 caches.

IC-PQ2p-PMCa integrates a 32/64-bit PCI controller, a DDR-ECC memory controller, a 4-channel DMA, a multi-channel interrupt controller.

IC-PQ2p-PMCa provides two 10/100/1000 Ethernet controllers. The two auto-sensing ports can run as well with a 10/100BT (half or full-duplex) or a 1000BT network. These channels supports jumbo frame. The transceivers implement an on-line virtual cable tester. These ports are available on RJ45 front connector or rear Pn4 PMC connector.

A embedded security engine is also available for instance to perform single-pass encryption and authentication as required by security protocols such as IPsec.

IC-PQ2p-PMCa provides two USB2.0 channels. The controllers supports Hi-speed (480Mbps), full-speed (12Mbps) and loaw-speed (1.5Mbps) operation. They can run as device or host. These ports are available on USB front connector or rear Pn4 PMC connector

IC-PQ2p-PMCa can be used in several PMC or PrPMC configurations in compliance with PCI 2.2 32/64-bits at 33/66MHz.

IC-PQ2p-PMCa on-board firmware

Our software takes in charge that Motorola’s new MPC8349E is the legacy of the PowerQUICC architecture. 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 PowerQUICCIIp, 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-PQ2p-PMCa hardware resources via an easy-to-use API. A set of about 60 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, serial ports, MAC driver for Gigabit and Fast Ethernet ports. For the MPC8349E, the advanced CPM functionalities require specific protocol drivers.
