EBV Elektronik is providing developers with a tailored development package for Freescale Semiconductor’s MCF532X DragonFire microprocessor family in the form of the COBRA5329 reference platform.
This reference board and Linux software environment has been developed in a joint project undertaken by senTec Elektronik and emlix, which was commissioned by Freescale Semiconductor, National Semiconductor and EBV Elektronik. In addition to the MCF5329 microprocessor, which is equipped with extensive peripherals, the board also contains National Semiconductor’s DP83848 Ethernet PHY module as well as appropriate flash memories and SRAM-ICs. The application board is designed for Power over Ethernet operation at 10/100Mbps (National LM5072).
The modular COBRA5329 package is provided with an appropriate Board
Support Package (BSP), which includes the mCLinux system, with a
tailored toolchain and coLinux-based development environment for
commissioning and working with the board using Windows XP.
- MCF5329 ColdFire processor, 240 MHz (200 MIPS) with SVGA LCD controller
- DP83848 10/100 PHY & LM5070 Power over Ethernet Controller from National Semiconductor
- COBRA5329KIT incl. COBRA5329PM, Base Carrier Board and Embedded Linux Package

SenTec Elektronik GmbH developed the board to offer maximum flexibility: on the main board (the 120x150mm COBRA5329 Base Carrier Board) it is possible, to piggyback the 120-pin Hirose connectors for the insertion of the COBRA5329 processor module and other add-on boards. The dimensions of each of these add-on boards are approximately 48x68mm, which makes them smaller than a credit card.
