- Board version: Lite5200B or Media5200
- MPC5200B processor (based on MPC603e series)
- 32 MB flash on the Lite5200B / 64 MB flash on Media5200
Host development system

Getting Started#
Starting Neutrino#
Step 1: Build the BSP
You can build a BSP OS image from the source code or the binary components contained in a BSP package.
For instructions about building a BSP OS image, please refer to the chapter Working with a BSP in the Building Embedded Systems manual.
Note: This BSP will build a default OS image for the Freescale Media5200 board. If you need to build an OS image for the Freescale Lite5200B, you need to change the buildfile. The buildfile has commented-out sections for the Lite5200B. Simply uncomment them and comment out the Media5200 sections.
Step 2: Connect your hardware
- Setup the board. Refer to the manual for the correct default jumper settings to use.
- The clock rates by default, should be:
- Core=462.00 MHz / 396.00MHz on Media5200
- SDRAM=132.00 MHz
- IPBI=132.00 MHz
- PCI=33.00 MHz
- Connect one end of the serial NULL-modem cable to the J3 serial port.
- Connect the other end of the serial NULL-modem cable to the first available serial port of your host machine (e.g. ser1 on a Neutrino host).
- Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to J6 (100/10 Mbit Ethernet RJ-45 connector).
- Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet network where a TFTP server (which you'll use to transfer the boot image) exists.
