The MPC8313 reference platform (MPC8313E-RDB) is a system featuring the powerful PowerQUICC™ II Pro processor, which includes a built-in security accelerator. This low-cost, high-performance system solution consists of a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly known as the MPC8313E-RDB, plus a BSP, distributed in a CD image. MPC8313E-RDB includes Linux® 2.6 BSP with optimized drivers to support all peripherals. This BSP enables fastest possible time-to-market for development or integration of applications including printer engine, broadband gateways, no-new-wires home adapters/access points, and home automation box.

Printing and imaging, consumer, and industrial applications, including main CPUs and I/O processors in printing systems, networking switches and line cards, wireless LANs (WLANs), network access servers (NAS), VPN routers, intelligent NIC, and industrial controllers.
