About This Document
This document shows how to connect the MPC8349EA MDS processor board and verify its basic operation, in a step by step
format. Settings for switches and jumpers are shown, as well as instructions for connecting peripheral devices. In addition,
instructions for connecting the MPC8349EA MDS processor board to an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), such as
®
Freescale's CodeWarrior
are included, but instructions for working with the IDE are beyond the scope of this document. This
version of the board has a faster DDR2 (400MHz), and a flash memory of 32MB.
