It leverages the costeffective MPC8308 PowerQUICC II Pro communications processor, built on Power Architecture&reg; technology, which is designed to meet the requirements of several lowend embedded networking applications with high-speed peripherals while striving for low power consumption and a small-footprint package design.</p> <p>The MPC8308-RDB integrates leading-edge external components: 5 x Gigabit Ethernet ports, 1 x USB 2.0, x1 mini PCI Express&reg; connector and an SD/MMC card interface. The MPC8308 microprocessor supports dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet controllers, singlelane PCI Express, USB 2.0 controller, enhanced SDHC controller for SD memory interface, dual universal asynchronous receiver/ transmitter (DUART), serial peripherals, general-purpose I/O and system timers. This high level of integration in the MPC8308 processor helps to lower overall system costs, improve performance and simplify board design. This cost-effective, highspeed peripheral mix makes the MPC8308 processor a unique offering in the marketplace.</p> <p>The MPC8308-RDB incorporates a pre-installed board support package (BSP) containing a boot loader (u-boot) - a generic Power Architecture technology system based on the Linux&reg; kernel. The u-boot and Linux kernel reside in the on-board flash memory and launch when the board is powered up.</p> <p><strong>Key Applications:</strong> Connectivity, Consumer, Industrial and

It leverages the costeffective MPC8308 PowerQUICC II Pro communications processor, built on Power Architecture&reg; technology, which is designed to meet the requirements of several lowend embedded networking applications with high-speed peripherals while striving for low power consumption and a small-footprint package design.</p> <p>The MPC8308-RDB integrates leading-edge external components: 5 x Gigabit Ethernet ports, 1 x USB 2.0, x1 mini PCI Express&reg; connector and an SD/MMC card interface. The MPC8308 microprocessor supports dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet controllers, singlelane PCI Express, USB 2.0 controller, enhanced SDHC controller for SD memory interface, dual universal asynchronous receiver/ transmitter (DUART), serial peripherals, general-purpose I/O and system timers. This high level of integration in the MPC8308 processor helps to lower overall system costs, improve performance and simplify board design. This cost-effective, highspeed peripheral mix makes the MPC8308 processor a unique offering in the marketplace.</p> <p>The MPC8308-RDB incorporates a pre-installed board support package (BSP) containing a boot loader (u-boot) - a generic Power Architecture technology system based on the Linux&reg; kernel. The u-boot and Linux kernel reside in the on-board flash memory and launch when the board is powered up.</p> <p><strong>Key Applications:</strong> Connectivity, Consumer, Industrial and Networking.</p> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Features</h3> <ul> <li>MPC8308&nbsp;PowerQUICC II Pro processor up to 333/266 MHz (CPU/DDR2)</li> <li>Ethernet <ul> <li>4-port
