Power Architecture (MPC567xF)

Target Applications

Automotive, commercial, industrial, and aerospace.

Course Description

This 3 day course offers coverage of e200z7 Power Architecture core including  instruction and data caches, Memory Management Unit (MMU), memory protection unit (MPU), cross-bar switch, system timers and all internal/external buses. It also includes details description, operation and programming of all on-chip peripherals with hands-on provided on most modules. Application examples are also discussed to provide participants good understanding of the MPC567xF Microcontroller family use cases.

Who Should Attend

Software and system engineers who need to come up to speed quickly on how to program and design with the MPC567x Devices.

Participants will be provided: A hard copy of the workshop course notes, lab book and textbook. A CDROM of all the lab experiments and demo version of the development tools is also provided.

Prerequisite

Knowledge/experience of some microprocessors/microcontrollers is necessary.

After completing the workshop, the participant will understand the basic concept of the Power Architecture and all major functional blocks of the MPC567xF (Mamba) device.

 

With hands-on provided and development tools, the participant will be able to program on-chip peripherals and be able to quickly optimize system design.
