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 burned
A
into
its flash memory and ran in exhibitions etc.
