3 Developer Environment
Development tools, hardware platforms, software building blocks and application-specific software
solutions are available from Freescale and our Freescale Alliance Program, including third party protocol
and signaling stack suppliers, real time operating systems support, and a variety of applications software
support. All of this builds upon the existing industry standard PowerQUICC family support program.
To simplify and accelerate the development process, Freescale will provide a user-friendly, integrated
development environment (IDE), which includes a compiler, instruction set simulator, and debugger for
the e300 core.
Freescale also provides an RDB board as a reference platform and programming development
environment for the MPC8308 with a complete Linux board support package. The RDB board will support
on-board DDR2 memory, a PCI-Express interface, and a debug port.
