Freescale MPC8360 COM Express SOM
Product Overview
The MPC8360 COM Express System on Module (SOM) is a compact, product-ready hardware and software solution that fast forwards embedded designs.
The MPC8360 SOM adheres to the COM Express Compact form factor and is based on the Type III pin-out specification. This combination offers the essential features for industrial, networking, and medical applications. Using a SOM allows engineers to design a custom baseboard that meets their specific needs and is compatible with other Logic SOMs. This compatibility makes it easy for developers to upgrade their product for greater functionality and performance-while still using their original baseboard design.
By starting with the corresponding ZoomTM PowerQUICCTM Development Kit, developers can write application software on the same hardware that will be used in the final product.
The MPC8360 PowerQUICC processor from Freescale Semiconductor provides both control and communications processing in a single chip, making it a cost-effective solution for any product requiring deterministic industrial networking protocols.
Designing a product around Logic's SOM allows developers to easily combine their core technologies with the high performance of the MPC8360 PowerQUICC processor.

The COM Express standard is based on the x86 architecture. As such, there exist some pin definitions which do not fit a power architecture-based module. Logic has made the module as compliant as possible to the extent that all signals which correspond to COM Express definitions have been assigned accordingly.
