The first step of starting your TFC project is to get to know your microcontroller. This article serves you as an introduction of Qorivva MPC560xB microcontroller.
Qorivva MPC5604B Summary
The Qorivva MPC560xB/C/D family of 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) includes the latest in integrated devices for automotive electronics applications. These scalable Power Architecture® devices are supported by an enablement ecosystem that includes software drivers, operating systems and configuration code to help you quickly implement your designs.
For the Freescale Cup Challenge, we have provided Tutorials, example code and projects which are based on the trk-mpc5604b StarterTRAK evaluation board.
Which Chip do you have?
The chipset mounted on the boards for the Freescale Cup can vary. Always validate your chipset to know it's full capabilities.
