• 8 KBytes E2PROM, buffered from the 60x bus, controlled by the GPCM.
• Board Control & Status Register - BCSR, Controlling Boards' Operation.
• On-board COP/JTAG connector.
• On-board logic to support direct connection to standard Parallel Port (EPP/SPP modes) in Desk Top PC for debug purposes using CodeWarrior tools.
• Power-On Reset Option via JTAG.
• Selectable Local bus function - Local Bus SDRAM connection or PCI bus in host mode.
• 8MByte Synchronous Dram (soldered on-board), residing on local bus with optional parity support, controlled by SDRAM machine 2.
• Programmable Power-On Reset and Hard-Reset Configuration via E2PROM or via Flash memory for the PQ2 core.
• PCI Local Bus is PCI Standard 2.2 compliant.
• 3 PCI slots are available to host up to 3 masters/targets cards @ 3.3V only - arbitration is supported by the on-chip Arbiter.
• PCI bus supports 25 - 66 MHz @ 3.3V devices (determined by the user).
• Simple generic Interrupt Controller to handle the PCI interrupts (4 in each PCI slot).
• Module Enable Indications for all on-board modules.
• High density (MICTOR) Logic Analyzer connectors, carrying all 60x, local bus and CPM signals, for fast logic analyzer connection.

• Multi-Range PQ2 internal logic operation voltage - selectable by jumper between three ranges - 1.3V to 1.7V for MPC8280 (Hip7), 1.7V to 1.9V for PQ2 (Hip4) or 2.3V to 2.7V for MPC8260 (Hip3).
• Software Option Switch provides 8 S/W options via BCSR.

This document is an operation guide for the PQ2FADS-ZU board. It contains operational, functional and general information about the PQ2FADS-ZU. This board is meant to serve as a platform for s/w and h/w development for the POWER QUICC II family of processors. Using its on-board resources and a debugger, a developer is able to download code, run it, set breakpoints, display memory and registers and connect proprietary h/w via the expansion connectors, to be incorporated into a desired system with the POWER QUICC II processors.

This board PQ2FADS-ZU could also be used as a demonstration tool (i.e., application s/w may be programmed1 into its Flash memory and ran in exhibitions etc.).
