Gary Milliorn CPD Applications This application note describes modifications that may be performed to convert the MPMC8245 ‘Unity’ MPMC or MPMC8241 ‘UnityLC’ MPMC cards in a Sandpoint system to a standalone operation. An MPMC card normally resides in a Sandpoint motherboard, but for COP emulator debugging, benchmarking, or other evaluation purposes, the card can be removed and operated without a Sandpoint motherboard by making a few simple changes to the board. This application note covers those changes and contains the following topics: Topic Section 1, “Introduction” Section 2, “Required Components” Section 3, “Standalone Software” Section 4, “Programming Software” Section 5, “Clock” Section 6, “Serial Header” Section 7, “Power Connection” Section 8, “Mechanical Standoffs” Section 9, “Operating the Board” Section 10, “References” Section 11, “Revision History” Page 2 3 3 4 5 6 7 8 8 9 9 www.DataSheet4U.com To locate any published errata or updates for this document, refer to the web site at http://www.freescale.com/semiconductors. © Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., 2004.
