Introduction
MPC5777C EVB User Guide, Rev. 1
1.1
Modular Concept
For maximum flexibility and simplicity, the EVB has been designed as a modular development platform.
The EVB main board does not contain an MCU. Instead, the MCU is fitted to an MCU daughter card
(occasionally referred to as an adapter board). This approach means that the same EVB platform can be
used for multiple packages and MCU derivatives within the MPC57xx family. High density connectors
provide the interface between the EVB and MCU daughter cards as shown
See
Configuration — MPC5777C-516DS Daughter
for more details on the daughter cards and
Section
6, “Board Interface Connector”
for more details on the interface connectors.

Please consult the MPC57xx website at
or speak to your NXP representative for more
details on the availability of MCU daughter cards.
The EVB is designed to be used with the motherboard and standalone configurations
NOTE
For details on your specific daughter card, please consult the instructions
included with the daughter card.
