Product Details

The DK2000 is a powerful, flexible platform for evaluating Dallas Semiconductor Telecom ICs and developing related firmware. The ICs are mounted on daughter cards specifically designed to plug into the DK2000's four connectors. The DK2000 provides a Motorola MPC8260 PowerQUICC II communications processor, L2 cache, DRAM, flash memory, various clocks and support logic, and an RS-232 interface to a host PC. As shipped from the factory, the processor runs general-purpose firmware that executes reads and writes to the daughter cards on behalf of PC-based demo software.
