MPC57xx motherboard - How To

[clementchassagn]

I have on my desk a MPC57xx Motherboard, a MPC5777M_512DS daughter board and two CPU (a PPC5777MMVA8b and a PC5777MQK0MvA8) but no documentation.

I wanted to assess the capabilities of a MPC5777M but I don't even know how to mount the CPU on the daughter board. Can I found any documentation online which would get me to the first power ON ?

Hi,

Just place cpu in socket pin 1 to socket pin 1.

For EVB user guide refer to this document:

Indeed, my question was more : how do I know which pin is pin1 ?

I guess I have to align the golden strip on the chip with the white arrow on the daughter board... not like here : http://www.nxp.com/assets/images/en/dev-board-image/MPC5777M-512DS-BD.jpg :smileyhappy:

Yes, as you described.
