Overview
The MPC5200B is a low cost evaluation board (EVB) for the Freescale MPC5200B microcontroller. It is
intended for use by engineers and software developers to evaluate the features and performance of the
microcontroller.
The MPC5200B integrates the following hardware features with the MPC5200B microcontroller:
•
32 Megabyte Flash Memory
•
256 Megabyte 132Mhz DDR-SDRAM
•
10/100Base-TX Ethernet
•

The MPC5200B comes pre-loaded with the “U-Boot” open-source universal bootloader resident in local
flash memory allowing the user to download and execute application code. The boot flash recovery feature
is capable of restoring the U-Boot code should it accidentally be erased.
This manual describes the contents of this development kit, the features of the MPC5200B, the basics of
U-Boot, supported operating systems, and other important information regarding the evaluation board.
