MPC5676R (Cobra) Power Architecture

Target Applications

Automotive, commercial, industrial, and aerospace.

Course Description

This 3 day course offers coverage of e200z7 Dual Core Power Architecture, memory protection and memory controller, cross-bar switch, System Timers and all internal/external buses. Also included are details of all on-chip peripherals with software example demonstrations provided on some modules.

Who Should Attend

Software and system engineers who need to come up to speed quickly on how to program and design with the MPC567xR Devices.

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

Prerequisite

Knowledge/experience of some microprocessor/microcontroller is necessary.

After completing the workshop, the participant will understand the basic concepts of the Power Architecture and all major functional blocks of the MPC567xR devices.
