• Lead Free Status / RoHS Status: Compliant

General Information
1.1.1 Standalone Mode
The MSC8144ADS processor board can be run in a standalone mode, like other application
development systems, with direct connections to debuggers, power supply, and other external
connections.
1.1.2 AMC Mode
As opposed to standalone mode, in this mode, the MSC8144ADS processor board can be
connected to an additional MSC8144ADS processor board via the AMC ATCA edge connector.
For details on this mode, see Chapter 6, Expansion Options. The MSC8144ADS processor
board can also be connected to a TUNDRA platform via the edge connector.
1.1.3 Debugging Chain Options
Both options can be used in standalone and AMC modes.
1.1.3.1 Single
A single debugger connection can be used to debug applications for the MSC8144ADS processor
board. The debugger can be connected to either the MSC8144, or the MPC8560, or both of them
simultaneously (but independently). For a single connection to the MSC8144, use the P1
connection, and configure the board for this using the DIP switches (SW[2–3]). For a single
connection to the MPC8560, use the P11 connection, and configure the board for this using the
DIP switches (SW[2–3]).
1.1.3.2 Chain
A chain connection can be used to debug applications for the MSC8144ADS processor board. In
such a case, the debugger can only be connected to the MSC8144-MPC8560 via the P1
connection. Use the DIP switches (SW2.3) to configure the board for this.
1.2 MSC8144ADS processor board Features
The ADS is based on the MSC8144 as slave processor controlled from a PQIII (MPC8560) via
the PCI bus or GETH switch.
