This figure shows the external cable connectivity with MPC8309KIT (SOM + Carrier) card.
Figure 7. External Connection for MPC8309KIT Card
NOTE
Ethernet connection on either SOM or carrier is enough for MPC8309
connectivity to external world.
Ethernet connection on SOM is done through FEC1 and on carrier through FEC2 and FEC3 of MPC8309.
Other ports of switch downlink can be used for connecting more than one system/Network to MPC8309
SOM.
Insert SOM card properly on carrier card. Improper insertion of SOM card can result in Ethernet
connectivity issue on FEC2 and FEC3. USB device, T1/E1 connection, RJ11 and Ethernet cable
connection to carrier card is optional. These external connections can be done on need basis.
