1•1 Introduction

This document describes the engineering specifications of the MSC8101ADS board based on the MSC8101- first member of the family of programmable DSP based around the SC100 DSP cores. It integrates a high-performance Star*Core SC140 DSP is four ALU DSP Core, large on-chip memory (1/2 MByte), Communication Processor Module compatible with PowerQUICCII (MPC8260) CPM, a very flexible system integration unit (SIU) and a 16-channel DMA engine.

This board is meant to serve as a platform for s/w and h/w development around the MSC8101 pro- cessor. Using its on-board resources and its associated debugger, a developer is able to download code, run it, set breakpoints, display memory and registers and connect proprietary h/w via the ex- pansion and host interface connectors, to be incorporated into a desired system with the MSC8101 processor.

This board could also be used as a demonstration tool, i.e., application s/w may be burnedA into its flash memory and ran in exhibitions etc.
