FM2 MPC55XX implementation

This course covers MPC5554 and MPC5567 Freescale MCUs


Objectives
	The course explains how to design a MPC5554 board.
	The e200 core is studied in detail, especially the MMU, the cache and the SPE instruction set.
	The course explains how to develop a generic interrupt handler.
	The training highlights data paths between core and peripherals through the internal crossbar switch.
	The host programming of eTPU and eMIOS is viewed in details.
	This course has been delivered several times to companies developing automotive and avionics systems.
A lot of programming examples have been developed by ACSYS to explain the boot sequence and the operation of complex peripherals, such as eQADC and eMIOS. •They have been developed with Diab Data compiler and are executed under Lauterbach debugger.
