Freescale’s MPC8272ADS system provides a comprehensive evaluation platform for MPC8272 family processors. The MPC8272ADS board features 64MB of SDRAM attached to a 60x bus and an 8MB program flash SIMM supporting up to 32MB.

On-board interfaces include JTAG/COP, Dual UART, USB 1.1, two 100/10-Base-T Fast Ethernets, and a 155 Mbps ATM UNI with optical interface.

Using ADS on-board resources and a debugger, developers can download and run code, set breakpoints, display memory registers and connect proprietary hardware through expansion connectors.

The resulting code can be used in a wide range of PowerQUICC II processor-based systems.
