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:
7
8
 * RS-232 on the back of the BR
9
 * RS-232 on the front of the BR
10
 * Site Alarm I/O on the back of the BR
11
 * 10-Base-2 Ethernet on the back of the BR (BNC)
12
 * Clock input on the back of the BR (BNC)

The hardware is a typical embedded design centered around MPC860 PowerPC:
21
 * XPC860DECZP33C1 (MPC860 PowerPC SoC)
22
  * User Manual: http://cache.freescale.com/files/netcomm/doc/ref_manual/MPC860UM.pdf
23
  * Hardware Specs: http://cache.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/data_sheet/MPC860EC.pdf
24
  * BDM/JTAG: http://cache.freescale.com/files/netcomm/doc/app_note/AN2387.pdf
25
  * Seems like P3 is the BDM/JTAG port for it
26
 * 4x AM29LV017D (16MBit NOR Flash), total capacity = 8MByte
27
  * http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheet/AdvancedMicroDevices/mXwrvv.pdf
28
 * CT2M64S4D10.8T66 (16MByte SDRAM module)
29
 * NE83C92A coaxial Ethernet transceiver 
30
  * http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/17992/PHILIPS/NE83C92A.html
31
 * XC56307GC100E (24-bit DSP56307 Digital Signal Processor)
32
  * http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheet/motorola/DSP56307.pdf
33
  * Seems like P1000 is the OnCE/JTAG port for it

37
=== boot loader ===
38
There is a bootloader pre-installed in the Base Radio.
39
40
=== radio application ===
41
It seems like the BR Controller is downloading its software via the Ethernet link from the [[wiki:Dimetra_EBTS/Site_Controller]]
