Looking at freescale's MPC5121e evaluation board
document I mentioned earlier, I noticed a reference to a certain "STx" company. It turns out to be
Silicon Turnkey Express, a "contract design and original design manufacturer affiliate of RPC Electronics. RPC Electronics is an electronic manufacturing services provider to OEM customers". In short: They make hardware.
STx has an specific
freescale-based product page. There you can see interesting mainboards, like the
GP3SSA, described like this:
Quote:
Low cost PowerQUICC 3 "motherboard" in Mini-ITX form factor: it can use off the shelf cases and power supplies. IO includes, 1394, IDE, PCI, dual mini-PCI, PMC, copper Gigabit ethernet. This can form the base of your product- just add a PCI card for any missing functionality and shut the lid! Call us about silk screening your logo too.
It's not an Efika2, sure it isn't that freescale MPC5121e development board (perhaps their forecoming
GP2PRO is?), but sure it's similar. It makes sense that freescale does not produce motherboards, only chips.
The document cites related products, with a price tag of 500 $, if you order more that 1000 units.
