μblog: engineering from the trenches

While looking through some application notes over at Freescale semi, I came across an application note about designing a minimal PowerPC system. One of the novel parts of the design is the use of a PLD to handle some memory controller functionality. Granted this document was originally published in 1999, there may still be some use for the included VHDL code. Some more recent application notes that may be useful are a design checklist for Freescale PowerPC processors and a guide for initialization procedures to run embedded PowerPC applications (additional software).
