MPC8XX FADS Board Support Package

Features include:

• Provides drivers and initialization routines for hosting TargetOS^TM, Blunk Microsystems' high performance real-time operating system, on the MPC8XX FADS, Motorola's MPC8XX evaluation board.

• Interrupt-driven and polled-mode UART drivers for the MPC8XX SMC1 channel supports the stream I/O routines (printf(), scanf(), etc.) in the TargetOS Standard C library. Baud rate, parity, flow control mode, and number of stop bits are programmable.

• Periodic tick interrupt driver supports the task sleeps and service call timeouts provided by TargetOS. The default tick interrupt frequency is 100 times per second.

• Enables the MPC8XX instruction and data caches for maximum performance. The DMMU is enabled to support speculative accesses, a performance boost, and to support address-selective data caching, required in order to not cache I/O registers.

• Time-of-Day clock driver for the MPC8XX's real-time clock supports the time-related functions in the TargetOS Standard C library. The time-of-day and date can be set by application programs or by the TargetOS boot menu.

• MPC8XX general-purpose timer driver allows applications to generate one-shot and periodic interrupts with microsecond resolution. User callback functions are installed as the timer interrupt handlers.

• Ethernet drivers for the MPC8XX's 100 Mbps FEC and 10 Mbps SCC1 support TargetTCP^TM, Blunk Microsystems' high performance TCP/IP stack, allowing FTP transfers, Telnet sessions, TFTP downloads, and other network applications.

• Flash programmer allows boot program updates via the TargetOS boot menu. Upon request, an S-record file is downloaded over the serial port and installed as a boot program in the FADS flash memory.

• Driver for TargetFFS^TM, Blunk Microsystems' high performance flash file system, allows using a portion of the FADS flash memory as a file system volume. TargetFFS has a POSIX and Standard C compliant API and provides guaranteed file system integrity across unexpected shutdowns.

• Integrated with CodeWarrior^TM, the development environment from Metrowerks with an integrated source level debugger, compiler, assembler, linker, editor, and GUI make tool. Includes kernel awareness DLL.

• Royalty free. Includes full ANSI C source code, default compiler settings, linker command files, user's manual, and one year of technical support.
