Additional Details:

The XPC860PZP66D3 PowerQUICC processor integrates many peripherals on-chip, including a memory controller, serial communication interfaces (UART, SPI), and an Ethernet MAC. This reduces the need for external components and simplifies system design. It is based on a 32-bit RISC core and is designed for embedded applications requiring communication and control capabilities. The 'D3' likely indicates a specific packaging or temperature grade. Since Freescale was acquired by NXP, newer documentation and support may be found under the NXP brand.
