9 MPC8568E Kit Configuration Guide
binary file generated by this project to an MPC8568E-MDS-PB board, the selected
QUICC Engine device blocks are configured according to the choices made in the QEU.
NOTE This kit supports both Linux and bare board development; however, the
QUICC Engine Utility currently supports bare board development only.
USB TAP Debug Probe
The CodeWarrior USB TAP debug probe lets you control the MPC8568E processor’s
execution at the hardware level.
If you are writing software for execution on a bare board, you can use the USB TAP to
download your programs to the MPC8568E-MDS-PB processor board and debug this
software with minimal intrusion. If you are an embedded Linux developer, you can use the
USB TAP and the CodeWarrior debugger to debug the Linux kernel and loadable kernel
modules. Finally, you can use the USB TAP in conjunction with the CodeWarrior flash
programmer to manipulate the flash memory of the processor board.
TIP Using Freescale’s Ethernet TAP debug probe, your team can share a single
MPC8568E-MDS-PB processor board over an IP network.
MPC8568E-MDS-PB
Linux® Board Support Package
The MPC8568E-MDS-PB board support package (BSP) includes all elements required to
build, deploy, and debug the Linux operating system, device drivers, kernel modules, and
applications for the MPC8568E-MDS-PB processor board.
You can generate custom Linux images using this BSP in conjunction with the Linux
Target Image Builder (LTIB) tools framework. Using the CodeWarrior flash programmer
and the USB TAP probe, you can then write these images to the flash memory of your
MPC8568E-MDS-PB processor board.
