 = BR Controller (CAE010CMX) = 

 This is s small PowerPC based embedded system. It communicates with the TETRA Site Controller (TSC) over 10-Base-2 Ethernet and controls all the other units of the Base Radio via the backplane of the BR cabinet. 

 It has the following connections: 

  * RS-232 on the back of the BR 
  * RS-232 on the front of the BR 
  * Site Alarm I/O on the back of the BR 
  * 10-Base-2 Ethernet on the back of the BR (BNC) 
  * Clock input on the back of the BR (BNC)

 == Hardware == 

 The hardware is a typical embedded design centered around MPC860 PowerPC: 
  * XPC860DECZP33C1 (MPC860 PowerPC SoC) 
   * User Manual: http://cache.freescale.com/files/netcomm/doc/ref_manual/MPC860UM.pdf 
   * Hardware Specs: http://cache.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/data_sheet/MPC860EC.pdf 
   * BDM/JTAG: http://cache.freescale.com/files/netcomm/doc/app_note/AN2387.pdf 
   * Seems like P3 is the BDM/JTAG port for it 
  * 4x AM29LV017D (16MBit NOR Flash), total capacity = 8MByte 
   * http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheet/AdvancedMicroDevices/mXwrvv.pdf 
  * CT2M64S4D10.8T66 (16MByte SDRAM module) 
  * NE83C92A coaxial Ethernet transceiver  
   * http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/17992/PHILIPS/NE83C92A.html 
  * XC56307GC100E (24-bit DSP56307 Digital Signal Processor) 
   * http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheet/motorola/DSP56307.pdf 
   * Seems like P1000 is the OnCE/JTAG port for it 

 == Software == 

 === boot loader === 
 There is a bootloader pre-installed in the Base Radio. 

 === radio application === 
 It seems like the BR Controller is downloading its software via the Ethernet link from the [[wiki:Dimetra_EBTS/Site_Controller]] 

 == Console logs == 

 === Normal boot === 
 During normal boot, the console output is as follows:
