MCF5485 Fire Engines
The M5484LITE Linux development kit contains a module, called a Fire Engine, which can be purchased from Freescale in production volumes. The MCF5484 Fire Engine is a complete system on module (in SOM-ETX format) offering essential features for industrial and embedded networking applications. The use of the Mini-ITX baseboard included in the M5484LITE, or a custom peripheral board generated by the customer makes the Fire Engine the ideal foundation for developing embedded computing products. The Fire Engine provides a common reference pin-out on its expansion connectors, which enables customers to easily scale to next generation microprocessor Fire Engines when new functionality or performance is required.
