Course Description

This 4 day course offers in-depth overview of the Multi-Core MPC57xx devices with emphasis on Rainier(MPC5746R) and  Fuji(MPC574xF). The course offers full coverage of the on-chip PowerPC cores including two cores running in delayed lock-step to meet ISO26262 safety requirements.

It covers the on-chip tightly-coupled memories (TCMs) including instruction and data caches, core memory protection unit (CMPU), Crossbar switches, system buses and system memory protection Unit (SMPU), Low power management, system Integration and chip pad configuration.

Core exceptions, Interrupt controller and interrupt handling is also covered.

Boot assist Flash (BAF) and Mode Entry module along with startup sequence for all on-chip processor cores will be covered in details. To allow sharing of system resources and ensure data integrity and coherency, the semaphore unit is also covered along with cross-bar switches that support simultaneous multi-master to multi-slave accesses. Details of most of on-chip peripherals, such Deserial Serial Peripheral Interface (DSPI), micro-second channel (TSB), eDMA multiplexers and eDMA engine, serial interfaces, periodic interrupt timers (PITs), system timers (STMs), watchdog timers (WDGs). The course also covers the multiple on-chip SAR_ADCs and SD_ADCs including trigger signals from eTPU, eMIOS or GTM depending on SoC timer implementation.

A detailed overview of system timers: Enhanced Modular I/O System (eMIOS), Enhanced Time Processor Unit (eTPU) and Global Timer Module (GTM) will also be covered.

Those who interested in meeting the Automotive Integrity Level (ASIL 26262) safety standards will benefit from attending this training.
