Kit Overview

The MCF548x Fire Engine Module is a compact system-on-module, product-ready hardware and software solution that fast forwards your embedded product design.The kit contains a system-on-module, called a Fire Engine, containing 64 MBytes of DDR-SDRAM, 16 MB of Flash, and a graphics contoller. The Fire Engine module, along with the included ethernet ports, PCI slots, CAN interfaces, serial interfaces, and the best-in-class ColdFire debug module generates a complete package to enable quick design support MCF548x processors.

The ColdFire MCF5485MCF5485 processors are ideally suited for embedded industrial applications requiring simultaneous control, connectivity, and security. The Fire Engine modules based on these processors are complete System on Modules (SOMs) offerring essential features for embedded applications. Using a SOM allows engineers to design a custom baseboard that meets their specific needs and is compatible with other Logic SOMs. This compatibility makes it easy for developers to upgrade their product for greater functionality and performance while still using their original baseboard design.

The MCF5485MCF5485 ColdFire processors from Freescale Semiconductor provide a broad range of peripheral support, making them ideal processors for industrial and embedded applications.Designing a product around Logic’s SOM allows developers to easily combine their core technologies with the high performance of the MCF5485 ColdFire processor.

Ordering Information:
