Getting Started
Set the jumpers to their default settings as given in
Table 19
.
2.2
Install DIMM Module
A 128-Mbyte DIMM is shipped with the platform. Install this memory module (when the platform is
powered down) onto the DIMM connector U1 as shown in
Figure 23
. This DIMM connector can
accommodate 64-MByte to 1-GByte modules. The MPC8349E reads the DDR serial presence detect
(SPD) data from the EEPROM on the DIMM module to identify the module type and various SDRAM
configurations and timing parameters.
WARNING
Switch the power OFF when installing/removing the DIMM module.
.
Figure 23. Installing the DDR1 DIMM Module
Both error correcting codes (ECC) and non-ECC DIMM modules are supported. The MPC8349E software
reads the module data width field in the SPD EEPROM to determine whether ECC is present and
configures the corresponding registers in the internal DDR controller. DDR1 unbuffered DIMM modules
with fewer than 12 or greater than 14 row addresses are not supported. DIMM modules with fewer than 8
or greater than 11 column addresses are not supported.
