PhoenixMicro MC68360 Course: "Designing with the MC68360"

Note: Offered as an ON-SITE Course ONLY.

MC68360 QUICC Microcontroller

The MC68360 QUICC (Quad Integrated Communications Controller) is a single-chip, highly integrated microcontroller that uses 32-bit CISC (CPU32+) as a core processor and another dedicated communication block called CPM (Communication Processor Module), and System Integration Module (SIM60).

Audience:

The MC68360 course is designed for Software and Hardware engineers and developers who want to build communication and networking applications. System architects, project leaders, and BSP designers who want to understand device architecture and requirements are also encourage to attend the course for an in-depth understanding of the silicon system.

MC68360 Course Agenda:

The course is a 3-day course that will cover both the hardware and software aspect of the device. Each topic is self-contained. That is, both hardware and software materials are included to make the topic complete. The course is consists of lectures and exercises.

• Architectural overview of the MC68360 which includes the CPU32+ Core, CPM, and SIM60.
  
• Review Embedded Core (CPU32+) programming model, Instruction set, addressing modes.
  
• Initialize and program the Serial Communication Controller (SCC) to transmit and receives UART, HDLC, and Ethernet frames.
  
• Configure the CPM interrupt controller to prioritize and recognize interrupt sources.
  
• Program the CPU32+ core to handle exception processing.
  
• Configure and initialized the Time Division Multiplexer (TDM) block.
  
• Configure and program the Serial Management Controller (SMC) to handle various protocols.
  
• Configure and program SPI block to perform transmit and receive functions.
  
• Configure and program the IDMA to perform direct memory/peripheral data transfer.
  
• Configure and initialized Clocks, Low Power, Reset blocks.
  
• Configure the external pins for the desired pin functions by programming port configuration block.

Note:

• The course will discuss the generic MC68360 device. However, there are various derivatives of MC68360. Reference to these derivatives can be discussed in course on a flexible basis. Total topics covered will vary depending on course size, student's background, and pace of the course. Our instructors are flexible to adapt and adjust topics to suit your requirements.
  

Prerequisite:

Basic understanding of the MC68000 microprocessor architecture, computer networking and protocols are helpful. However, student’s willingness and desire to learn are the most important factors.
